1/72 Academy P-47 D Thunderbolt 

"Razorback"

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

 

This was an excellent kit.  It went together great.  Only the cowling didn't line up perfectly.  Everything is OOB except tape seatbelts.  Even the checker tail is a decal.  This kit was very easy and took maybe a week or two to build.  Very little putty work is needed and the panel lines are engraved deep enough.  I used Model Master Acryl paints.

To make the base I mixed dirt, water and glue.  It took a long time to dry, but I like the results.
