NLAWScametovisitSorry for the delay on updates! The OHP long hull decals from floating Dry dock are still in the mail, as are PE for the flight deck nets and bridge antennae. Hopefully it all gets here soon!

NLAWScametovisitSo, she's all done and there's some good workbench pics of her up, but I'm waiting to find time to do some cleaner pictures of her in her finished state before I officially complete the project.

NeilHi James C and John 🙂 Welcome aboard mates 👍 John, thanks very much. It's nice to build a more recently manufactured kit, the fit is substantially better than what I'm used to tackling normally! 😆 This is my first ever HobbyBoss kit and I'm liking it so far.
9 November 2022, 21:50
JohnI hear you. I'm working on the old Monogram razorback and it was a lot of work. It was actually going really well, then the decals were a disaster. That's what I get for using old decals that were in an attic for several years. Won't make that mistake again! I hear HobbyBoss is hit or miss, but looks like you have a winner there. 👍
9 November 2022, 22:27
NeilWelcome Robert! 👍 And thanks also John, hope you've solved the decal issue 🙂

NeilHello Roland and John 😊 thanks very much, you're both super kind and very welcome here. Thanks also to all who stopped by and recently liked 👍 I'm getting there, have finished the camouflage now and am onto painting the stripes. Cheers!

VincentGreat work with the camo masking the patern looks very good. Great work until now!!!

NeilHi Peter K and Vincent 🙂 Thanks for stopping by you're both very kind. Just to confirm @Vincent I never masked any of the camo - it's all freehand painted with a hairy stick. And thanks to those for the most recent likes too 👍
12 May 2023, 11:22
Bruce HuxtableI'm very impressed with your painting skills, Neil. As you mention, good judgement adds refinement. Superb results 🙂
12 May 2023, 12:38
NeilThanks again Vincent ☺️ Bruce you're very kind to comment and say such things also, welcome! Thanks for the likes too mates 👍

Mark SherwoodI built the other P47-D Rabbit, thourghly enjoyed that build. It's looking good in it's D-Day stripes. 👍

Gary VictoryVery nice job Neil....and very topical given the date. Looking forward to seeing your finished work.
7 June 2023, 06:33
NeilYou're all super kind to stop by and comment on my efforts, very much appreciated. I was grumbling to myself about all the masking of stripes being a bit of a pain in my butt... However Gary, indeed, your point is very pertinent and poignant - thanks mate 🙂 👍
22 June 2023, 11:02
NeilHi Rando and Rui too, thanks both for stopping by and giving me encouraging input, much appreciated mates 👍
30 October 2023, 21:25
CaptGPFI just love the details you put into the cockpit, and the weathering job. The most impressive was the hand-painting of the camo for me - nice, smooth and thin so as not to flood the panel lines. That is much harder to achieve than masking and airbrushing IMHO - nicely done!
16 November 2023, 16:48
NeilHi CaptGPF 🙂 Thanks very much, yes, I do love a bit of freehand painting (on models and off). So very kind of you to say 🙂
6 December 2023, 11:57
NeilHi Robert, thanks very much for saying that mate 😊 I'm nearly home now, and thanks for the likes also to others 😊👍
22 December 2023, 23:20
Mr JamesThe wear & tear and the distressing is excellent. It looks like its done plenty of sorties 🙂 Love the aluminium coming through in the chips and the not perfect invasion stripes. Did you use an aluminium chipping pencil or have you painted all those chips Neil??
23 December 2023, 00:18
NeilHi Mr James 🙂 thanks very much. Yes, that was the look I was aiming for, war torn and a bit hasty in invasion markings too. it actually hurt to scrub up my nice clean painted black and white stripes! 😂 Though in retrospect I probably should have made them look even more slap dash!
The chips and general wear and tear are each individually hand painted. I've not got any chipping medium or tried that hairspray technique - though I plan to at some point. I imagined when adding the marks that you'd see both a green primer and the steel airframe too. Maybe not historically accurate I accept of course 👍🙂

Jennifer FranklinVery close to being done, and I am looking forward to the final product.
23 January, 13:09
NeilHi Vincent, thanks very much 😁 you're very kind.
The scheme is based on one of the kit options; Ltd Col Rrancis Gabreski, June 1944. However instead of airbrushing the camouflage exactly as shown. I just decided to brush paint the green in my own interpretation... I hold my hands up as I have a habit of doing things with a large dollop of artistic licence. I am not very good at realism in my endeavours; though I did decide to paint 'messed up' invasion stripes. Rather than use the clean decals! 🤣
17 February, 22:50
Gary VictoryReally nice job Neil. The 56th had some really interesting paint jobs. Great work.
19 February, 07:22
NeilHiya Gary 🙂 agreed, I hope to have done some little justice here. And thanks very much for saying that 😊 I've finished this one too now. So nicer pictures coming soon mate 👍
20 February, 00:45
NeulingI agree with Mid Franconian. Chipping and weathering are absolutely convincing.
12 April, 08:45
NeilHello Mid Franconian and Neuling. Thanks! 🙂 You're very kind and it's much appreciated that you have both commented on my efforts.
12 April, 09:06
gorbyI missed this the first time around. Fantastic work on the camo and weathering.
12 April, 09:34
NeilThanks very much! You make me feel very proud ☺️ It's true that I do enjoy parking the airbrush for some freehand camouflage, hairy stick action! 😁 So really humbled that you talented mates appreciate and would comment 👍
12 April, 14:03
Mark SherwoodNice brush work Mr Neil (Boom! Boom!) seriously stunning finish all round mate.
12 April, 18:41
NeilThanks John, Harvey, J35J, James C and Mark (only you Mark could get a Basil Brush reference in to a Thunderbolt build!!... Although my wife would say I'm daft as one for sure mate! 😂🤣). It's always appreciated when your peers say such nice stuff! I promise I did freehand paint the camouflage John, I even took pictures to prove it mate! 😁 And thanks to all of you for the likes also 👍
12 April, 19:12
NeilThanks very much Nathan and Rando, I did enjoy this build a lot. It's a very nice kit in my opinion. Goes together well and made a welcome change from my usual wrestling with an oldie! Something I know you guys understand also 😉 🙂 Thanks everyone for the likes too 👍

CaptGPFThank you everyone for your likes. 😀
Harald. I put the two side by side to show the differences in the paint. It was an eye opener to see how there was so much variation on such a color!
Giannis, I used X-19 + X-24 using a 5:1 ratio. Perhaps a 4:1 would have worked better. I'll note this in the pictures for reference.
RichardL from this forum deserves the credit for the Have Glass mixture I based the new build off of - arcforums.com/forums..70-who-got-it-right/

CaptGPFThank you, Mr James / Neuling - it means a lot coming from the two guys I am always drawing inspiration from!

Edouard CarrNice! My son has just bought the Tamiya version with Beast mode option he is looking forward to starting it.
13 August, 20:45
CaptGPFthanks Edouard! Hope he enjoys it! I had to special order this Hasegawa beast-mode kit, as they don't carry it in the US.

Landlubber MikeThanks for following guys. Lochsa, you're right about the canopy. There are fit issues in general with this kit - most of which aren't too difficult to deal with - but the canopy is a bit of a mess. I'm not really looking forward to that part of the build.
