Hairtrigger Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Enjoyable basic cheap £6.99 kit. Bad points: The landing gear struts needed trimming back, as far too long. The decals are very thick, but apply with no chance of falling apart.. The interior detailing is non existent not even a joy stick. The thickness of the wings is a little off. The wheel wells have no detail. Good points :. The plastic is lovely to work with, almost no flash, fit is very good... Conlusion:. Well worth the money. Great basis for practice. -. Something I need greatly. Norma was the name Lt Brad Muhl added to his jug to impress a nurse he met at a dance in Italy. She took it as a sign he was serious about her and they married. A 1996 feature in the Hartford Courant reported it was in the 52nd year... 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Nice work! I agree, it is a good (cheap) kit to practice on, or do multiple different liveries if the details are not a central concern. After a few of these, I recommend the Revell P-47D and P-47M kits. The Academy P-47D kit isn't too bad either. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple pilots and their sweethearts. Can F32 comment after viewing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
