This P-47D-28 RA
belonged to the 509th fighter squadron from the 405th fighter group. It was
flown by the commander of the 509 FS, Captain Robert Blackburn, at the end of
1944.
I used the 1/48th
scale Hasegawa
kit. It was built directly from the box except for the Eduard
seat belts. I used Aeromaster decals and the natural metal finish was
created with Alclad II paints ( polished aluminium, white aluminium, dark
aluminium and magnesium).
