Samantha, Great job! I am thinking about using the same markings for my Tamiya P-47M. I really like the colors. Which paints did you use and how did you mask the camo job? Matt

Wow, Samantha, great job! I love the camo scheme, you really did a super job on it. Are the decals from the kit, or did you find them A.M.? Cheers, Mike

Thanks guys, Matt - the paints used were Tamiya's the light blue was a custom mix that Allen did for me until I was happy with the shade the dark blue was XF-8 the rudder was a custom mix as stated by the Tamiya instructions, the camo was masked using the "Blu-tac" method. Mike - the decals are after market (I nicked them off Allen ) the decals are from Eagle Strike, set 48238 Link to Item The build log can be found Here

I go "all out" on all of my models, with resin and PE upgrades, after-market decals, etc. Once I finish those two, I'll go ahead and build a Two-Tone BLUE 56th 'Bolt...
