Falco's S&P Builds

**Falco** · #1 04-02-2018, 09:07 AM

This is my first follow along build thread for sharpening my 1/100 Building Skills and my first victim is the S&P P-47B. So right of the bat I have a question (see attached photo). Can anybody explain the "WAT" or WHAT ARE THOSE?!?

formers for the center fuselage. the cross section of the P47 is a sort of reversed pear shape.

You put those in horizontally after laminating to thicker paper to maintain the shape. I have also found stuffing with paper napkins helps alot to make the finished model more durable.

Checkpoint for Today is Fuselage... awaiting tail feathers and wings. So far so good. I did not yet purchase the sealer so the ink was coming off from handling the little guy. I am extremely happy about this kit and I plan on building a 1/50 and 1/33 version as well. Enjoy the pictures... That's all for today.

P.S. This version if with tabs...

I like using cotton balls cotton. I get a lot of control over thickness, location and shape. You just have to be careful about stray fibers. YMMV.

I have been pit of action for some time but here are some recent "dust off" build to warm up.

Nice clean builds Falco.

Thanks Rata... feels good to be able to build again after a what seemed like a long break from the hobby. Here are a few more practice builds.

you start to get the hang of it at 1/100 scale.
