I like it. Cracking decals too!

Just the right amount of 'Chipping' on the prop/ cowl.....Nice one Ian.

A great build, the NMF looking very realistic.

What is "NMF" please

[Guest]

I really like this - that's one heavily-armed P-47 you've got there, Ian. I'd echo what others have said about the natural metal finish (that's the NMF, Amos) - how did you manage to get it looking so good with just Vallejo paints?

[Guest]

Excellent looking Jug Ian! That's a very natural finish, not super shiny but just right.

[papa 695]

Thanks all for the nice comments

Hi Doug many thanks for the great comment I treat it just as if I was using Alclad paints in the fact that it should go on a very smooth surface
