Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for the best colours for the "blue on blue" scheme shown in the Tamiya kit for this aircraft ?

I'd prefer not to have to mix paints if I can help it.

Cheers

Hi Scott,
last year I've built 2 Thunderbolts during the 56th FG Operations Campaign and made a build blog for them. One was an early P-47 M and I've used Vallejo paints for the upper camo. Azure Blue 71108 and Insignia Blue 71091. If you like you can stroll through my thread. Maybe you find some usefull informations.
Oh, and please show us your result here!

Happy modelling!
Torsten
