1/48 Hasegawa P-47D Thunderbolt

--------------------

 

This model was built totally OOB, and I was quite impressed with the fit, after two NMF attempts (I screwed up the first one, and had to strip off all the paint and start over !!).

Weathering was done using a mixture of brown and black chalk powder applied with a dry brush.  Paint chipping on the body was created by scratching off the paint to reveal the NMF undercoat.  Paint chipping on the props was done with a silver pencil.
