I managed to almost finish the Raiden Miniatures P-47D ‚Jugs‘ this afternoon but have now packed up for the day, ready to finish them off tomorrow evening. I need to paint the prop bosses, add individual code letters to the fuselage sides, possibly add a little more nose art or some tail codes, then paint the flight stands.  I will then seal everything with matt varnish and paint the canopies in gloss to give them a shine. I’m glad to be getting close to the finishing post with these planes but have really enjoyed the process, even if it has had me swearing like a trooper on more than one occasion!
