Hasegawa 1/32 scale
P-47D-30 Thunderbolt

by Tolga Ulgur

Tamiya's 1/48 P-51B Mustang is available online from Squadron.com for only $26.99!

This is my 1/32 scale Hasegawa P-47D-30 finished in the markings of Maj. Glenn T Eagleston  from 353rd FS in France late 1944.

I decided to modify cockpit area by using  Aires cockpit set and Eduard instrument panel.

Cockpit parts are painted in Dull Dark Green using Gunze Sangyo H302.

I have purchased Vector Engine set for R 2800-59 engine with GE ignition parts which are used in P-47D30 . I have decided to use front section of the Vector set by keeping Hasegawa s cylinders. The engine was finished with the addition of some lead wires.

Painting done with Alclad lacquers. Kit decals are used on the model.
