In all honesty, I've never been a fan of the P-51D, though I do like the P-51B/C. I am a fan of the "mighty Jug" and look forward to seeing these released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28ZComeback Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 To Dora: I loved the P-43 but it fought me for months. The over-engineered cowl, the tiny parts on chunky sprue attachments and the vague instrument panel attachment instructions could have been easily addressed. Please keep it simple on the 47B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steh2o Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) They are releasing the -C with and without the "big belly" modification, it seems. I wrote a couple of comments in their Facebook page hoping they enrich a bit the model, at the moment I noticed that: -it lacks the underwing fences; -it lacks the flap hinges covers; -it lacks the fuselage ceramic insulators for the wire antennas; -it has five instead of four underwing oval inspection panels in front of the flap section. The cockpit right wall seems a bit suspicious but the fact is- we have information about what it looked like with the original radio set, but not how it was rigged after introduction of the SCR522 in ETO Edited November 18, 2021 by steh2o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are working on variants of the P-47B. There are such photos. Perhaps someone has additional photos of these aircraft ..? Or some other interesting variants... Thanks in advance.

Tbolt Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Looking fairly good. Nice things are the intake splitter is done in two parts so should be more accurate than the Tamiya one. Separate controls surfaces. Separate forward and aft belly inserts (as long as they are a good fit ). Things I don't like are the way they've molded the guns - I know I'll end up breaking those off before I've finished the kit 🙄 The prop shaft and hub cap are molded separate but the cap is in two halves. Also another kit where we can't have the canopy open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbolt Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Just found this additional shot of the canopy on FB. Still not keen on the rear glazing, it's going to take a bit of work to fix that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueNosers352nd Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Well great...........with a Tamiya conversion to C already started. Granted I haven't touched it since Dec 2020. Silly me deciding to remodel my house........alll of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boman Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 It's only the testsprues of the P-47B, not the C. But looking very promissing for the upcoming P-47C for sure 😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course a different fuselage will be required for the C-1 and later versions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73north Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I hope this kit gets made and is a huge success , the Company announced yesterday , that the WW2 Morane Saulnier MS 406 ( 1/48 Scale ) is still in the pipeline for being made - but the War makes things slower , but Dora Wings still intends making it 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Russell Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 These tanks will be a Red Roo product in early 2023. The best way to be kept informed about them is to sign up to the RR newsletter from the web site. We pretty much only send out newsletters when there are new products. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
