Razorback and Bubbletop Thunderbolts from Hasegawa

Recommended Posts

These are in 1/72. The Bubbletop being a Brazilian machine with aftermarket decals, the Razorback one of the 325th Checkertail Clan using kit decals. For their age, the kits are decent, although lacking in cockpit detail. The Tamiya kit is superior, but the Hasegawa can often be found and swap meets for 5 bucks, in fact that's what dad paid for it about 15 years ago when he bought it for me. It was a 2 in 1 special edition.

Lovely Jugs Brad. The Brazilian one is my favourite. The Hasegawa kits are still fun to build. sure they are lacking in detail but they fit well and as you say don't cost much.

My word, they are excellent builds - a favourite type in my favourite scale!

I hold a candle for the Revell and Academy P-47s but I will keep an eye out for Hasegawa versions at a good price.

Really like your weathering and panel lines.

Great work! :)
