Nicky_t Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 For such an old kit I'm fairly impressed with how well this went together, everything went together as it should with a really solid fit. I wanted a dirty and well worn P-47 and I am really happy with how this one turned out. Went with an out of the box build on this one but with the addition of Aber's brass turned .50 cal's to replace the snapped plastic items that where present on the kit. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Looks incredible for such an old kit. The metal barrels really make a difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RODH2 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Always underestimated, the old Monograms, but they respond well to a good build. Genuine modelling!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the only thing I wasn't happy with on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Just because the kit is old doesn`t mean it can`t look good. Excellent results on this venerable kit!!!!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
