Revell 1/48 P-47D Razorback

[Gizmo]

I started this build a couple of weeks ago as part of a Nostalgia build on another forum. I thought I would share it here as I am new on BM.

I wanted to build this kit as I remember this being one of the first kits I built as a kid. I wanted to keep this build as close to OOB as possible only using some aluminum tubing for the guns and pitot tube.

I was pleased with the fit of the kit in general. I really only ran into issues with the decals. The smaller stencils fell apart when they hit the water. I managed to save one of the stencils and all of the larger decals.

It was fun to build this kit OOB bringing back some fond memories of building it as a kid.

Thanks for looking.

Very nice job mate.

Monogram !!!! My favorite brand. Pity it doesn't exist anymore.

Nice build, I used to love Monogram kits (and LS 1:1 scale weapons, who remembers them), a Jug was the second aircraft I made when I started making again, well done

Excellent work.

Thanks very much everyone.

The old Monogram kits sure don't hold their own compared to the newer kits. They were great to build when I was younger and it sure was fun building one now.

I was on one heck of a modelling slump so it sure feels good to finish something even though it was easy.
