WIP: Tamiya P-47 Thunderbolt (Buddy Build)

Continuing along with the P-47, the kit is a sweet one.  I wish the rivets were native instead of me having to put them on.   PAIN IN THE @SS.  


 Some airbrushing of parts that are being assembled.  Planes are DEF harder than tanks.  :-(
 Washes for effect. 



 Oh yeah, hit the part with clear BEFORE the washes went one.  I do pin washes, NOT general washes. 

 Time for rivets......this was NUTS.  My first attempt.









 primer down

Used thinned down Vallejo

  A mix of these two colors for the underbelly. 


 Tire black from Life Color Paints
Used a compass cutter to cut out masks.  Worked great
