So...I have dismantled the test build...saved the cockpit tub and the Tail gear and Box.
Also saved the partially constructed Wing internals and Gear boxes.
Was also able to remove all the formers from the fuselage, so I don't have to reprint
and recut those. yay!
And now I am attempting a full build in full colour.
I will also photograph the entire build to create another Build Photoset.
I'll post that a little later on.
This "test build" and the first release of the new P47s, will be aircraft #44-32691.
This is the Jug that is on display at the Udvar-Hazy (Smithsonian) Center which I got a very close look at.
Its a mostly bare metal aircraft, so I got to experiment with some new metal colouring.
I found the first printing to be a little washed out. (see the first pic below)
I have since darkened up the colouring. (re: the second pic)
Not sure why I continued the build with the first print, but I did...so I ain't stopping now.
