Review Summary

The reviews highlight a generally positive experience with the kit, noting good overall fit of parts, minimal flash, and fine recessed panel lines, though the cockpit is basic and the canopy can only be displayed closed. Some users encountered minor issues with decal fit and brittleness, as well as slight challenges with landing gear covers, but these were not seen as major drawbacks. The kit is frequently recommended for builders of varying experience levels due to its ease of assembly and enjoyable build process.

good over all

By: pamason (Entiat, WA)

This model has much good and little bad. The parts fit well with little sanding but only a base cockpit and no pilot. The inst are good and paint chart is good to the decals are easy to cut out but care in place them. with a little work the landing gear can be showen up ore down. The cockpit glass has only the close setting. But a good plane for all.

P47D Razorback

By: user98989

What a great kit. Academy did a fine job with the near perfect fit and the fine recessed panel lines. Yes, the only way to display the canopy is closed. And, the cockpit is just basic. But, those two flaws are easy to overlook. This kit is fine for anyone to build.

Good Fun Kit

By: Rmackert59

This is the first airplane model I have built in over 40 years. This is a good beginner's kit. All the parts went together with little problem. Very little flash if at all. The canopy did not fit perfectly but it is not apparent unless you look very closely. The decals for this kit were brittle and the checker board decals did not fit worth a flip. Replaced the nose decals with a yellow ring that in the end looks better than the decals if they had fit. In the end I was very pleased with my reintroduction to model planes. Despite the decals I would buy and build another Academy kit.
