Crossiant Oliver Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I got this kit at a vendor at the Planes of Fame airshow in Chino this year, great show. Before posting this I’ve assembled the main body and have almost finished painting but I’ve encountered some setbacks on the way. firstly is The absolutely atrocious fit of the wings which required multiple uses of the Tamiya putty. The mod says 1964 so I’m not so surprised. The cockpit is standard ‘60s Airfix, just a seat and an endless abyss of plastic. One thing thing I like about this kit is the silver plastic, which I can just scratch the paint for chipping. I’ll keep updates on the model in the coming weeks. It’s the perfect weather for outside modeling so I’ll be getting some fresh air now.😊 https://i.imgur.com/CGaHmyS.jpg 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Good morning Oliver I remember building this kit a long time ago and I think it has survived and hide somewhere in my parents house in Dordogne ... Best regards Patrice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventora3300 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 This was one of my favourite kits when I built it last century - a big tough hombre and the prop spun beautifully! Looking forward to more progress - are you doing wheels down on this one? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to more progress - are you doing wheels down on this one? Yes, but it’s stalled recently because I lost the decals. Not a big deal, they were pretty yellow, and I can get plenty of Razorback decals on eBay for cheap. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checking in to see how one of my favourite aircraft subjects is doing - did you lay your hands on a set of decals for the Thunderbolt? Cheers.

Cheers. Mike I found some decals with the 1942/43 USAAF roundels, so I’m gonna make it an average Razorback from 1943 probably this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventora3300 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 It would be great to see this P-47 'bounce' in for the finish. One of my favourites! All the best. Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawzer Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I've not long finished a razorback in 1/48 - can't believe the size of these brutes next to a spitfire or 109!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
