P-47D
Tristan Estoppey models Gabreski’s famous forty seven
When I started this project I was motivated to try unconventional techniques such as
Rub n Buff and dry transfers to obtain the best possible "authentic" natural metal
finish. This was before I read Gabreski's book A Fighter Pilot's Life whose well-known
double page's picture of his P-47D made me change my mind. After a quick search
for references on the Internet I realized it wouldn't be necessarily an easy escape
from my initial plan, Gabreski's plane field applied camouflage being subject of many
interpretations and thus much debated on the discussion forums.
