Hello all,
I cannot post in the dedicated P-47 thread, so I'll do it here.
I'm bound to finish a Revell 1/72 P-47D-30 (bubbletop), a really nice (and cheap!!!) kit.
I was wondering to paint it in the French green/gray markings using the decals provided in the box (or Brazilian if I feel like spending the money to get the decals - don't feel ready for a NMF scheme).
Could anybody please tell me which colours best replicate the OD-neutral grey scheme? I'm a Gunze Aqueus fan, but I had in mind to try Lifecolor paints... any reference for both the brands?
Second: the kit provides a one-piece cowling with open "petals". Does a totally closed cowling exist?
Thanks to you all!

You can't post in the P-47 Thread as Kitmaker now has a dedicated site to the P-47 Thunderbolt
