"Awesome plane, awesome price"
timandsuch
Really, you can't beat this price for a 1/48 kit, even if it is rather basic. The engine is a single piece and molded with the air splitter. You can't alter the turbo gates. The cockpit is moderately detailed with sidewalls and an instrument panel. The seat is inaccurate and lacks belts. The machine guns are pitiful for such a beast and easy to break off. I used tubing to replace them. Comes with multiple options for weapons loadout and decals. My first kit back into the hobby and it looks pretty sweet. I love Jugs, especially the early models and I will purchase this kit again.

"P-47D Thunderbolt"
skippykeesler (Worden ILL)
Though a older rendering of the Razorback version of the Thunderbolt,with raised panel lines, this is still a nice kit.It has fairly nice detaling. I especially liked the decal sheet and it was hard to decide which aircraft to model, so I guess I will be building more. I have found a way to enhance the appearance of my Revell models that have raised panel lines. After assembley and before painting I first wipe my model with Isophryal alacohol, and then take a fine point sharpie marker and trace all the panel lines. I then paint the model with several coats of thin paint from my airbrush until I achive the desired panel effect. It works well and makes the model appear to have more depth. I would recommend this kit to any skill level modeler, it is an inexpensive and fun kit to build.

 
"Revell's impressive P-47D"
leonidas117
An excellent version on the greatest fighters of WWII. Although the kit has a low parts count, detail isn't bad, especially for an older model. Some clean up of flash was required, but it wasn't excessive. Decals worked well and the general fit is very good with only minor gaps requiring filler. Over all, it makes a fine addition my 1/48 WWII model collection.

 
"Easy build!"
J Bevill (Palm City, FL)
I've started on this plane and so far I've only noticed one thing I'm not too fond of. The 8 50cal gun barrels are very easy to bend or break off if you're not being extra careful, especially when trimming the parts from the sprue material. Just be extra careful. The fit of the parts seems really good. The cockpit is 1 solid piece other than the control panel and the joystick which I like. It has good detail, a great place to do some dry brushing. I sprayed the fuselage and wings in Testors silver enamel, let it dry for a couple days, then went back and salt weathered them, over coating with Model Masters acrylic olive drab and neutral gray. Turned out to be a little too much weathering but I still really like it. Definitely need to get the canopy soaked in some Future floor polish. I'm building the Oakie version and I'll need to weather the decals as well. All in all it's a nice smaller plane with less parts that can really get detailed well if you like. Will post a finished picture once completed but it's turning out to be a great buy. I'd build it twice! (And I might!). Would definitely recommend to anyone.
