JC's Planes and Projects
My proposed scheme of Francis "Gabby" Gabreski's Jug.
Top
Flite Giant P-47 Thunderbolt
Note: The big Jug is back on
the building board! I am applying panel
lines, hatches, and rivets. I will post
more as soon as I start painting.
This page will
be in a "diary" format until the project is completed and a full
review can be written. Check back often to track the progress of the project!
