Águilas Aztecas P-47D

Fantastic. I've been wanting to build this Mexican AF jug for some time. Did you have decals for this build, or did you make your own?

I picked up the set from Aztec Models Aztec Eagles (Aztec Models 72-019, 1:72). It was a bit of a challenge (especially that nose), but it was a fun build.

Nice build! 👍🏻

I have the same kit on the bench that I have done in FAP livery:
Republic P-47D Thunderbolt | Força Aérea Portuguesa (FAP) | Album by GrenadeBait (1:72)

I'm wondering if you encountered the same issues I had with the engine cowl not fitting well and having to move the antenna mast???
See image 82, 87, and 89

Cheers!

Well done! 👍

@Rui Da Silva: I ran into the engine cowling issue on this as well as the Razorback version of the kit. I ended up using a bit of CA glue at the top and bottom of the cowl to get the cowl to seat and hold in the right place and then hit it with the Tamiya extra thin for a strong bond. And yup, had to move the antenna mast to allow the canopy to open.

A very nice finish.
