Hi all:
My P 47D 1/72 scale is practically finished. Some minor details are resting as the propeller, bombs, antenae and finish weathering.
I used the decals of the kit and they gave me a lot of trouble but I think I achieved a good result. I spent five hours decaling this little thing !
Coments and critics will be apreciated.
Here are the pics:

Hi Carlos. Nice looking build there. Very nice and neat. I like the contrast between the red and natural metal. What did you use to mask your clear parts? Looks good, Wingman out.

Hi Wingman:
Thanks for the coments. I used Parafilm M to mask the canopie.It works really well.

Hi Nigel:
Three more weeks, oh man, that gives 8 weeks without modelling ? Too much, I gues how you miss it.
Thanks for the nice coments. Next it will be a P 47D Academy in 1/48 for this campaign too. Iīll start with it next week, but right now while finishing the little P47 Iīm working in a P 51D (Tamiya) in 1/72 scale. It will be Bud Andersonīs Old Crow. Itīs a fantastic kit.
Looking to see you with your hands on the Styrene again. When you return home the DVD will be in your mail box.
Take care.
Carlos
