Master Model .50-caliber blast tubes replaced the kit guns on Jeff’s Hasegawa 1/48 scale P-47 Thunderbolt. Alclad II lacquers and Model Master enamels and acrylics provided the bare-metal finish, olive drab, red stripe, and red triangles. He used Barracuda Studios decals to mark the aircraft for “Haulin’ Ass,” flown by Lt. Jim McWhorter, 365th Fighter Group, “Hell Hawks,” 1944.
