This is my second article for ARC....this time I
will tell you about the extra detail I added during the building of my 1/48
Monogram P-47D-25. I've liked the P-47 for a long time. When I
decided to build this plane in 1/48 scale, I chose the old Monogram P-47D-25
(Hi-Tech series), because I think the Monogram P-47 does a much better job at
replicating the brutal, rough nature of the real plane, than the slim, smooth
Hasegawa Jug.

The first job to tackle was the
re-scribing of all the raised panel lines and all the rivets. The rivets were made with a simple tool. I used clock gear in handle.

I did not use any aftermarket
accessories, but I did take some parts from Academy's P-47N. Academy provides an
earlier type of the P&W engine, than is found on N-model. This engine is
appropriate for the D-model of the P-47.
