Academy 1/72 P-47 Bubbletop & Razorback

Post by Kobus »

Hi all,

I have been very quiet as of late due to work commitments etc...
It took me a very long time to complete these 2 kits, but alas they are complete.
I opted to paint the checker patterns on both instead of using the decals...
Let me know what you guys think.

Nice jugs.

Very nice pair Kobus!

Your painted checker patterns in both Jugs are very sharp and crispy!!

Magnificent work on those two Jugs! What a Masterful job, especially on those checkerboards. They look like decals they are so well done!

I used the Academy Razorback as a base for my XP-47H conversion. The decals looked like they where not the good ( like it had low resolution print). How where your decals?

Thank you all for the wonderful comments, I really appreciate them.
I will definitely be doing some more, just might take some time.
Thinning out my 1/72 stash to get into my 1/48 kits...

Thanks again all
