A nice tribute to your FiL , a great build and beautiful photo shots. I love the sunrise shots. Bravo!

Many thanks Blacksheep! I think she turned out pretty well and I guess it was worth getting up so damned early to get those sunrise pics.BlackSheep214 wrote:A nice tribute to your FiL , a great build and beautiful photo shots. I love the sunrise shots. Bravo!

Well done, Gary, and your usual pretty pictures. I built the Tamiya F-84G recently and used the decal strip method on it as well. I think the same crew designed this kit that did the P-47N.

Thanks John! I saw that bird of yours I believe; didn't realize you had used that technique on it as well. I think it approximates the actual method quite well.jeaton01 wrote:Well done, Gary, and your usual pretty pictures. I built the Tamiya F-84G recently and used the decal strip method on it as well.

What are the issues with that P-47N? Is that a Tamiya kit or Revell?
