I have decided to modify the cockpit area by using the Aires cockpit set and Eduard instrument panel. Cockpit parts painted to Dark dull green by using Gunze Sangyo H302.

I have purchased Vector Engine set for R 2800-59 engine with GE ignition parts which are used in P-47D30.  I have decided to use the front section of the Vector set by keeping Hasegawa's cylinders. The engine was finished with the addition of some lead wires.

Painting was done with Alclad lacquers.  Kit decals are used in the model.  Quickboost gun barrels and Barracudacast wheels are the final modifications.

Happy modelling.
