Looking good 

Second stage of transfers.

Ooooh, smoke rings! 

I see I wasn't the only one who invested in a few sets of those Smoke Ring transfer sheets

I scanned all mine too, l just in case. 

These are home made smoke rings.  I stole the image from the interweb and printed a sheet up about 8 years ago for an He-51.

I knew this was gonna look cool and I'm glad I agreed with myself cause I was right 😊 🙂

I must admit i'm glad I adjusted the paint scheme.  The RW Cuban P-47 was a dark chocolate brown all over with black "anti flash" strip along the top of the fuselage.
These are both USAF colours.

I did it, I girded my loins and I removed the prop parts from their casting blocks and cleaned them up.  No problems whatsoever.
I must say the quality of the casting of all the parts has been marvellous.
Now it might be due to the smoke rings but with the props in place I think it has a distinctly Italian feeling about it.  Still, Cuba is a latin country so that is fitting I suppose.

In that base colour it looks Italian even without the smoke rings. And the looooong thin nose helps too, some Regiennes and Machis look like that.

Exactly my thoughts. Put that in Italian late war green and ANR markings and you'd confuse some.

Definitely Italianate! Definitely cool!

10 outta 10 Fred...contra props win everytime with me
