Guess it's time for another Razorback build.😉
I'm going for the paint scheme on the box and adding a figure set from ICM also.

Stephan Ryll
That's looking very good from the start Björn 👍
23 July 2019, 14:57
Patrick Hagelstein
In! 👍

Björn Svedberg
Thank you Stephan and Patrick! 🙂 You are very welcome!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Well. that is looking good 🙂 Interior is superb- I will follow this one!

Slavo Hazucha
That's a truckload of detail in 48-scale. Admirable clean quality & finish, the leather-effect on the belts is gorgeous... The cables behind the instruments make me curious what the plan on this project really is 🙂 Dream start, following with pleasure 👍

Patrick Hagelstein
Well Slavo, the P-47 doesn't have a coaming over the instrument panel. From that triangular windscreen you can look into the area behind the instrument panel and that's where you would see those cables running out of all the instruments. 🙂

Tim Heimer
Looking good! Those figures are great, I've used them before. Maybe a simple Dio on the horizon?
24 July 2019, 00:21
Björn Svedberg
Thank you Roland, Slavo and Tim! 🙂
@Slavo, the wiring is only for show as Patrick explains, no further extravagances planned at the moment😉.
@Tim, thanks for the encouragement, but dio's are are not planned for the near future. I have too many planes that I want to build before delving into that. 🙂 The ICM figures look great, though.

Looking good, thanks for sharing.

I'm taking it slow with this build, it is such a joy to work with this excellent kit. 🙂 Engine and propeller are finished and I'm currently working on the Eduard details for the wheel wells.
18 August 2019, 18:45
Björn Svedberg
Thanks John!

Urban Gardini
Great progress on my favourite version of the Jug. I'll follow this one closely...
18 August 2019, 18:50
Björn Svedberg
Thanks Urban! 🙂 This is probably my favourite Tamiya kit, so far. Lovely details and great fit!
18 August 2019, 18:51
Urban Gardini
I've got it in my stash and plan to build one with all the resin I can throw at it...
18 August 2019, 18:53
Stephan Ryll
Very nice detail on that prop and engine Björn 👍
18 August 2019, 18:57
John Ballman
I haven't built one yet but am a owner of a few of these. Test fitted one and was very pleased. Keep up the great work. JB
18 August 2019, 19:03
Björn Svedberg
@Urban, that really looks like a project for the ages! I'll be sure to follow along when you start it. 🙂

Thanks Stephan! 🙂
18 August 2019, 19:04
Urban Gardini
Yes, that day will be something extra...
18 August 2019, 19:08
Slavo Hazucha
Excellent stuff only in this album 👍 Splendid looking engine & propeller, particularly cool detail are the filters in the last pictures. Most enjoyable watching...
18 August 2019, 19:42
Jim J
Fantastic detail! I'm following closely because this one is on my list. Very inspirational.
19 August 2019, 04:59

Thank you Slavo and Jim! 🙂

Björn Svedberg
Thank you Soeren, James and Daniel, you are all so welcome! 🙂

Björn Svedberg
Another update. I've done alot of work since the last update. Next step is preparing for painting.
7 September 2019, 17:14
Patrick Hagelstein
Really coming along nicely! 👍
7 September 2019, 18:41
Slavo Hazucha
There is indeed a lot of detail on & around to engine so the option to make it properly visible is the right approach. Good progress on all fronts, looking forward to the paint job!
8 September 2019, 06:44
Soeren R.
She looks fantastic Björn!
8 September 2019, 06:46
Björn Svedberg
Thank you James, Patrick, Slavo and Sören! 🙂
I started the painting process during the weekend by doing some black basing for the pre-shade of the main body color.
9 September 2019, 05:38
Slavo Hazucha
That´s a load of individually pre-shaded panels! Should pay-off with dividends in the finish! 👍
9 September 2019, 08:40
Bryn Crandell
Looking amazing so far. Can't wait for more.
9 September 2019, 11:53
Patrick Hagelstein
By the looks of it, it turned into a spiritual thing.... Perfect meditation exercise. 😉
9 September 2019, 14:21
Bart Goesaert
Nice base for the painting stage...
9 September 2019, 14:57
Stephan Ryll
Very nice progress Björn 👍
9 September 2019, 15:22
Kees Kleijwegt
That's looking mighty fine Björn! Preshading's gonna look great 👍👍
9 September 2019, 15:25
Björn Svedberg
Thanks Mates! Your words warm my scale model heart!😉
A new update. I've just finished the base painting of the camo. Next will be masking and painting the red parts. Have to get the paint matched to the decals.. 😛
9 September 2019, 17:23
Ben M
Taking a seat!
9 September 2019, 17:28
Björn Svedberg
You are welcome Ben! 🙂
Another small update. I've started masking and painting the engine cowl.
12 September 2019, 05:24
Norbert Steffens
Great work Björn
12 September 2019, 10:11
Jean Pierre CULIS-FERY
Superbe ce Razorback.
12 September 2019, 10:23
Slavo Hazucha
Oh, that white line under the decal is a bit of a pain for sure - but really should be fixable... How will you get the yellow lashes behind the white though, is there another decal?

Good luck with the next steps, all looking great so far!
12 September 2019, 11:21
Michael Hickey
Any room left to watch this old warbird come together, she is looking great so far.👍
12 September 2019, 11:34
Daniel Klink
Great progress Björn! Always loved that Indian Chief Version..
12 September 2019, 13:04
Björn Svedberg
Thank you Norbert, Jean Pierre, Slavo and Michael! 🙂
After some masking and another layer of white paint and clear, the decal is finally in place and I can start the masking of the rudder.
12 September 2019, 13:06
Urban Gardini
Great work mate!
12 September 2019, 13:16
Jean Pierre CULIS-FERY
C'est pas l'escadrille Lafayette, mais c'est un bel indien!
12 September 2019, 13:27
Tim Heimer
Looking Good!!
12 September 2019, 14:43
Stephan Ryll
Very nice progress Björn 👍
12 September 2019, 14:50
Bart Goesaert
Nice projects so far. To bad about the decal, but an extra layer of white can help
12 September 2019, 15:45
Jim J
Looking great! That red cowl is outstanding!
12 September 2019, 17:26
Norbert Steffens
Yeah. Problem solved. Looks good
14 September 2019, 05:45
Björn Svedberg
Thank you mates! 🙂
Another update. The tail plane has been painted and all the decals applied along with another layer of gloss coat before weathering. I'm currently working on the armament and I'm going for the ground attack version with the big extra tank, bombs and rockets.
17 September 2019, 05:23
Stephan Ryll
Nice choice Björn and very nice progress on that bird 👍
17 September 2019, 18:14
Nathan Dempsey
Great work so far. This one is going to be nice!
17 September 2019, 19:05
Slavo Hazucha
Really nice to follow - a great buildup for the finale 👍
17 September 2019, 19:20
Björn Svedberg
Thanks, Stephan, Nathan and Slavo! 🙂
I made a mockup of the plane in its current state. Next step will be weathering.
In hind sight I really should have masked and painted the markings. The carrier film of the decals is clearly visible in many places..
28 September 2019, 07:51
Björn Svedberg
The "Jug" is finished! 🙂 It's time to start with the little figures from ICM.
29 September 2019, 14:17
Jim J
Tremendous! 👍 Bravo! I love the shading and of course all of the spectacular detail. Well done.
29 September 2019, 14:26
Slavo Hazucha
What the start promised, the finish delivered! 👍 Excellent paint job & choice of details, beautiful green Juggernaut!😉
29 September 2019, 15:12
Roland Sachsenhofer
Great! Just inspiring! Such subtile weathering and paintjob!
29 September 2019, 15:35
Björn Svedberg
Thank you Jim, Slavo and Roland! It is highly appreciated. 🙂
In my haste to finish, I had forgotten about the antenna wire. Last picture added.😉
29 September 2019, 15:36
Daniel Klink
Love that Little Chief option! Fantastic Job Björn 👍

Looking great mate!
30 September 2019, 10:00
Björn Svedberg
Thank you Urban! 🙂
I've started working on the ICM figures. Only assembly and a bit of base paint yet, but you can see all the fine details of the figures in this kit.
6 October 2019, 07:13
Slavo Hazucha
A lovely gathering! So the dude on the right really does not want to have anything more to do with the rest...😉
6 October 2019, 16:47
Stephan Ryll
Very nice figures Björn 🙂
6 October 2019, 17:09
Patrick Hagelstein
Man, those figures build up nicely. Hard to tell they're 'just' plastic instead of resin aftermarket.
7 October 2019, 12:46
Björn Svedberg
Thanks Mates! 🙂
I finally got around to finish painting the figures, and did a little mock up with the plane to show them off. Hope you like it!
24 November 2019, 15:50
Jim J
Well done! The figures are great! 👍
24 November 2019, 16:03
