Hi. I am Mattias
from Sweden and here are my first contribution to ARC. I started this
wonderful hobby back in December 04 and am now totally hooked. Needless to
say I am still a rookie in this game, with now eight finished models. Here
are my attempts trying to replicate the beautiful P-47D Razorbacks from Academy.
I built 'em simultaneously o.o.b. No boobytraps on the way, just replaced
the original horrible wheels with new resin ones from Pavla and added seatbealts
made from Tamiya tape. Preshading was done on Little Chief and both were
sludgewashed to highlight the panel-lines. I used Tamiya and Gunze
acrylics. Wasn´t too confident in how the alu finish would turn out on
the *Doogan* aircraft, but now afterwards, I must say I´m pleased though.
Used Tamiyas XF-16 for this. I´ll probably venture into the Alclad II
world eventually. Both models were given their final, two thin coats of
Gunze flat to seal everything. Decals are from Aeromaster and Eagle
Strike. I plan to add threads for the antenna wire, but I need to do some
research on this first. I´ve seen the wire attached on either the right
or left side of the antenna, and sometimes none is used at all. Could
someone help me out here please? All in all, an, enjoyable four-week
project and I´ll definitely build more of ém as I´ve stacked the closet with
more Jugs.
Well Enjoy.
Mattias
