I've been slower than cold molasses running upheld in January, but finally finished this bird, Hasegawa P-47D-25 in Brazilian markings, as flown in Italy, 1944.

I used a Hamilton Standard prop from Monogram kit. Wheels from True Details, as is iron ring sight. Engine is wired, brake lines scratch built, seat belts and buckles likewise, with antenna cable from 2 lb test monofilament, along with grounding cable under tail. Decals from SuperScale.  

Paint my own mixes of Model Master enamels. Mg blast tubes are vinyl covered paper clips.  Underside and interior shots taken before completion. Please be patient, had to send 2 e-mails in order to get it all in.  Oh, drop tank scratchbuilt from 75 gal tank halves. Think this type tank was field creation, and I've
only seen it on the Brazilian jugs.
