I'll start with that before starting completely over. Thanks!

Thank you! I think I may have to redo the wing shape. I realized it's supposed to come to almost a point in front. If I leave it as is, the leading edge is too thick.

Excellent results so far.

I forgot to mention that I am doing this in 1/72 scale, just like the drawings. When I did plastic models, I did 1/48 almost exclusively, so this feels a little small, but things seem to be going well so far.

Here are some photos of my progress:

I have officially started a P-47 Thunderbolt from the WWII ID plans from the gallery. I have also already cut myself, so I guess that makes it official! I will get photos uploaded here in the next little while. Thanks to Lou for his help with his tutorials and answering my questions.

Thanks! I had a lot of fun detailing this one.

Nice photos regardless of the Photobucket logo.

I was able to find a few more photos of my Jeep from another site I posted them on. Unfortunately, they have the Photobucket watermark on them now, but this will hopefully give you some idea of what I did with it.

Thank you Jordon.
