Very clean nice bare metal finish

Awesome! I did the later ‘bubbletop’ version of ‘Fat Cat’ a few years ago!

Great job on the NM finish!

I like those markings, are they aftermarket? Nice job all around.

Yes they are Eagle Strike. Thunderbolts of the 405

I can only hope I can make the two Revell kits i have in my stash look anywhere as good as these P47’s you keep producing, Johnny.

Really beautiful work, bud. :slight_smile:

I’m really impressed with the NMF. You’ve used several shades on different panels and it looks really good. Of course you’ve also done a fine job on the construction of the kit as well.
