Trumpeter P-47D Thunderbolt “Razorback” 1:32

Weathering

Before the wash I gave the fuselage and wings another coat of ALCLAD Aqua Gloss and once again left it 24 hours to dry. I used MiG washes in various dark and light tones until I was satisfied with the look. I also did some extra grubby bits aft of the cowling ring using pastels.

Once done I left the whole thing to dry for 48 hours before going on to assemble all the component parts together. It sure looked like a Jug now but was far too shiny for an operational aircraft. To tone it back I used ALCLAD Light Sheen which to me replicates that semi-matt appearance that aluminium gets over time. It’s spot on.

Finishing…

It was then a matter of sticking on the prop and canopy and that was it job done.
I hope that you liked this short build review and find it of some help. I am going onto build the Kinetic 1:24th P-47D Razorback now also in a NMF and you should see this in SMN sometime later this year.
