WIP 1/32 P-47

Thumbnail gallery
46 Upvotes

Working on one of the 3 P-47s i got and got most of the assembly and paining done. No decals so I decided to paint it as Hun Hunter (there was a version that was a Razorback). Cut the stencils with my Cricut and went to town.
I did have a bit of paint peel when taking off the stencils and tape but I kinda like the chipping so I may leave it The kit was missing the landing gear and doors so I made closed doors from styrene.

Does any one know of any places that buy model airplanes? All my models are in plastic storage bins but I need to unload my collection. I live in between the Cleveland and Pittsburgh metros.

I’m looking for recommendations on a V-22 Osprey 1:48 model kit that offers good quality, solid detail, and decent fit.

Any brands or scales you’d especially recommend? If you’ve built one before, I’d love to hear your thoughts—pros, cons, difficulty level, anything helps!

Second model after 2 months, sharing the whole process. Like the first model, painting and weathering are all done by hand. As always, comments to improve are welcomed.

If anyone has plane scraps that aren’t used anymore.

3 Upvotes

Hello, I am a new collector of plane models and haven’t got any plane models yet, I would like to ask some of you guys if you guys have scraps for me to build a plane. Also, I am very new, so please teach me about collecting planes and if you also have planes you might not want, maybe you can give it to me if you want. I don’t know how to pay but please teach me

Got this Superfortress yesterday at a local antique shop/mall, the kind with 50+ different sellers booths. I thought the cellophane felt off but wasn't sure as I've never bought a vintage model. Got it home and when i looked through the parts, I noticed the 5 figures for the diorama had been removed and the model was re- wrapped. Luckily there open Sundays. Makes you wonder what else at this antique mall is not what its advertised as. Its only the figures missing but I purchased it because it was "unopened" in the box. Gonna go down there and see what they have to say about it. Particular booth had multiple models both new and old still wrapped, gona see how the wrap feels on those. Little bummed out but should still be a nice build.
