This is looking good. I have wondered how good these HB "easy assembly" kits are and seems like they're not bad. 👍

Thanks John, Indeed I was seeing these kits everywhere and it doesn't look bad. We will see what result I can get.

I built the HB P-47 Thunderbolt. It was quite a nice build, the engine was moulded into the cowling, but otherwise okay. Your build is looking good 👍🥸🤟

Thanks Mark!!! I looks like a decent model when I look up other results on this side. The constructions seems really easy until now so thats always nice.

Finished result looks absolutely fantastic Vincent! 🙂
I'm building their (Hobbyboss) P-47D currently (minor hi-jack!)...

I agree. For the price these kits are well detailed, great value and fit together well. Though I too had same issue with the included invasion stripe decals - so decided to paint rather than use. I believe you've subsequently inspired me to buy this one too! 😉 You should be rightly proud... Love the metallic finish! 🙂 👍

Thanks Neil. The P-47d kit is recommened to me many times and your build looks indeed very good. I'm keeping that one in mind for sure. I'm also happy with the metallic finish but I can still improve on that aspect. painting the invasion stripes I something I need to try again. I had a really hard time the first time I tried that on my spitfire mk-9 build.

Very, very well done Vincent. Your metallic work looks very realistic. And a great looking muddy field.

Thanks James and Roland. Nice to see the metallic finish is getting praise. I was not completely happy but seeing the comments gives me more convidence.

A great build Vincent. The contrast on the metalwork is A+ mate. Those Hobbyboss kits are good and I agree with a few mods makes a nice finished model. As evinced by your P51.

Thanks Mark for the kind words. I will surely try more of these hobbyBoss kits.

Looks top Vincent. Metallic finish is not easy to pull off at all but yours is really good. Nice result from that kit too. 👍
Album info
I wanted to try a hobby boss kit to see what you can do with it and to see how easy they are to build.
I also want to practise some metallic effects and I also want to practise with yellow paint.
I'm not plannig to do many modifications But i did try something with the gun barrels.
Mods:
- Scratch build gun barrels
- added panel lines and rivits
Problems:
- Invation stripe decals don't line up so I can't use them for this build.
The decals where good until this moment so I will try to do the harder scheme with the invation stripes. Well that didn't last long. The invation stripe decals don't line up on the centre fuselage. And I added the pylons for the drop tanks to soon. So I Decided to leave them of but i Will still use the decals for the Belly Lee III.
