Finished MPM/Academy 1/72 XP-47H

The original build tread is here:

And the end result:















All in all I am quite happy with the overall shape and the black base finish. But I also made some mistakes, the decals are so so, the airintake on the back should be identical ( either both are flush or scopes) and I lost some surface details during the conversion.

excelent work for special aircraft. Looks like a kit, not as a kitbash. good paintjob. I like it

Expertly done.
Finish is great...I dig the different tones.

It definitely took a while. I looked up the original tread on FSM, it was six years ago.... I build at a glacial pace.

But I must say I am happy with my first true black base build. It is a great technique.
