Following 👍 What is that red tiny thingy in the background?

I assume you've found it out already, Łukasz 😉 Just in case: SCM Newsfeed

I don't know if this is considered trolling - but I like the red tiny thingy! 😛

I like the difference in dimensions, frankly - that's why it appeared on this photo 😉

Fully understood - did the same with my Gnat & Tomcat 🙂

Thank you for your interest, Mates, much appreciated! Actually, this painting was the main reason for me to build a "Jug". It reminds a bit the after war Cleveland racers' schemes to me. (also, I needed something of a 'leisure build' 😉 )... Interestingly enough, this black "Jug" was flown under the Egyptian sun...

Really nice paint scheme!

Did you do something with the panel lines, or is it a uniform surface?
And good work with the decals 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Very nice result 👍 What should be the prop?
That escalated really quickly, I need such quick projects 😄

Robert Podkoński
Thank you all, Mates 🙂
@Simon - I decided to leave the panel lines without any wash. I only highlighted the control surfaces with pencil 😉
@Łukasz - to the best of my knowledge it should be the Curtiss-Electric "cuffed" propeller.

Love it! Definitely one of the most interesting liveries on a Thud and you executed it perfectly!

That looks like a Curtiss Electric cuffed propeller to me: ipms-mckinstry.org/2..for-148th-p-47-kits/

Thank you, Djordje! Frankly speaking, for me this livery was the reason to build a Thunderbolt 😉
@David - exactly. But the shape of the propeller in the kit bears no similarity to any kind and the decals in the set are for Hamilton Standard (and I used them only to avoid a "blank" propeller blades...)
