Academy 1:72 P-47D Republic Thunderbolt
Schmaltzie

My interpretation of "Schmaltzie", flown by Lt. F.J. Middleton of the 57th FG, 65th FS, 12th Air Force.
Based in Southern Italy in the summer of 1944.
The kit is the Academy 12491 P-47D Bubbletop with aftermarket decals by BarracudaCals.
The original decals sadly disintegrated when I looked at them... Paints used were Tamiya and Humbrol. Thanks for reading!
