Tamya 1/72 P-47 Razorback


Recommended Posts

After a flurry of activity yesterday, this 'quick build' [started 15th June!] is finally finished!

This is Tamiya's lovely P-47 Razorback kit built totally out of the box, including seatbelt decals.

The only issue I had was not being able to close the canopy, but it wasn't really a problem becaue I wanted it open anyway.

Painted using Xtracrylics and Tamiya paint.

Hope you like it!

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated!

Martin - the canopy just wouldn't fit in the closed position - I can only assume it's an error on my part but the fit wasn't even close!

Very nice work, great finish. I've built a few of these and the canopy fits great closed, it's a tight fit and hardly needs any glue and because the way the back of the canopy fits, I fit the canopy first then the windscreen.

Maybe that's what I was doing wrong then - if I ever build another I'll give that a go!

That is a beauty. The panel lines really set it off. I have not plucked up the courage to try adding this detail yet, but it does make a difference to the overall appearance of the model.

Thanks for your comment, sorry I missed it at the time! Highlighting the panel lines is really easy - give it a go on the next model you make :)
