Snake45 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Yes, nice, but I do believe you have the left main landing gear on backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried pulling it off to reverse it but I'm afraid it's gonna break. I wondered if any one would notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Pretty nice for 1/144 scale. I had a few in my stash, but the quality in that scale is all over the map; some are jewels, and some are barely recognizable. This one looks really nice, but for the undersized bubbletop. Your paint and decal work are very clean; well done! If you decide to build a "jug" in 1/48 scale, you gotta check out the new Italeri P-47D; the sprues are works of art, and the decal sheet is outstanding in scope and quality. It's a bit pricey, but I found a couple on ebay sold as bagged kits, and got a great deal. a must-see kit for WWII buffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike999 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Great job, especially on a kit that tiny! One of my "side projects" now is 1/144 scale. But it's a 727, so a lot bigger than your Jug. Here's a book I found at the local flea market a while ago, for 5 whole dollars. "The Thunder Factory: An Illustrated History of the Republic Aviation Corporation" by Joshua Stoff. That was a great deal, since I had more than $5 worth of fun reading it and it's now in my reference library. Covers the whole history of Republic, with very detailed coverage of the P-47's development and use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phirewriter Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Nice job! Picked one up too, not a scale I usually build, but like P47's Might have to do something with the prop, seems a little chunky to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
