1/72 Revell P-47D Thunderbolt

This Revell’s kit it is familiar to all warbird fans, so will not talk about it much. Just to say that is very cheep and fantastic model of the Jug.

F-47D30 is used by the Yugoslavian air force (Jugoslovesko ratno vazduhoplovstvo) after WWII. It’s was the main fighter plane in fifties. Somebody on ARC was deeply talking about this great plane in Yugoslavia, so no need to talk twice about the same thing.  Only difference from F-47 D30 (white 109), from Zagreb’s museum is in the camouflage.  This plane was flying in those colors from the start.  It wasn’t NMF.  This Jug from Zagreb was in NMF until it’s service was ended, and then it is repainted in gray/green camo for museum.

Model is OBB. Only the radio antenna is added.  I’ve used MM and Humbrol enamels. Decals are domestic productions, design by Mica.

Pictures of work in progress you can see on our little forum known as “Maketarski Kutak”, it means modelers corner http://maketarskikutak.com/index.php?topic=3672.0

Greetings from Serbia, until next project...
