"1/72 Scale P-47D Checkertail Clan" Topic

Last one today.
Here is a P-47D from the 325th FG campaign. I built this one in 1992. Still lookin good!
Big thanks to Waco Joe for helping my low Hi Tech skills!

Thanks Tim…
This is the old Hasagawa kit.

The panel lines are done with a thinned wash, excess wiped away. I'm not sure what I used back then, but nowadays I use the new washes from GW- Nuln Oil for black and Agrax Earthshade for the brown. These are applied after the model is glossed and decals are applied and dried. I also use shaved pastels applied with a brush for weathering. Sometimes i use a "sticky note" as a mask for the pastels on panel lines.
Be careful not to overdo it
:)

Hope that helps

Nice…….(and thanks for the kind words!)
I like the in action shots!

Did you use the wash with a nice thin brush over gloss coat?
that works the best.
as for sealer, I usually don't spray after I apply a little pastel, which is always the last step. For handling, we just use the wing edges. The few times I did "seal" it after pastels, i used Pollyscale Flat coat through the airbrush and didn't have any bad effects.

I have a ton of 72nd scale tanks, too.
ill post those up soon- we are getting ready for a few games of Battlegroup Kursk!

BOOM!

On my model trains, I use quality earth tone pastel chalks. I grind them using fine grit sand paper. I seal them using a few very light dustings of Dullcote. Go slightly heavier on the chalks and a bit lighter on the varnish for great results.

Great scale!
Out-classes any work I've ever done.
It's fun to share work you've done from years past.
Nice pilot and canopy detail.
