The Model
Republic P-47D-15-RA Thunderbolt “Razorback”
19th Fighter Squadron, 318th Fighter Group, 7th Air Force, Saipan, Marianas Islands, summer 1944.
Scale: 1/144
The model is from an Eduard released Platz mold, the Figures are from Shapeways and the crane comes from Brengun. All parts of this scene are modified in many ways: scratch built gun bays and cockpit, modified ailerons, deep drawn canopy and many little details more. All markings, except of the stars, are masked and airbrushed or hand painted.
