This is my first submission
to ARC and I thought I would show my Tamiya P-47D. I built the kit out of the
box with the exception of Waldron buckles in the cockpit. The model was painted
with Model Master paints. This was the first time that I used an oil wash and am
very satisfied with the end result. I used the the kit supplied decals to
represent Lt. Frank Klibbe's plane. In true Tamiya fashion they were thick
and took alot to get them snuggle down. To simulate the chipped paint I used a
Primsacolor silver pencil with very favourable results. As far as the kit
building all I can say is that it was very nicely molded and went together with
ease.

During the shooting
of some of the photos the "Jug" took flight and crashed into the
pavement.
Needless to say I
had some repairs that had to be made. The pictures of "Little Chief"
sitting on the base is as she looks today after all repairs had been made, and I
am hoping to show her in a contest in the near future.
