P47D Razorback Fighter

This is a 1/72 Plastic P-47D Thunderbolt "Razor-Back" Model Kit from Academy Plastics. It's for ages 10 and up.

The P-47 was a workhorse during the last half of WWII. The craft was large and heavy but thanks to a powerful engine and solid design the P-47D could perform with great agility. Commonly used to escort U.S. bombers, the craft was also quite capable of ground attack. Nearly 12,602 "D" models were built, more than any other fighter sub-type in history.

"P-47D"

I enjoyed assembling and painting this kit. It has a nice selection of underwing stores. The Cockpit is fairly well detailed for its size, however everything is hard to see with the closed canopy. Instead of the colors recommended, I went with a modern gray on gray scheme. Not my worst idea. It was a good enjoyable build.

"Nice Kit?"

Enjoyed this one, No real problems, the landing gear covers were a little hard, not the wheel side but inside but not a major deal. Like the way the landing gear attached with the pin and slot to hold in correct position.

 
"Great kit!"

Really nice kit. Fit, detail and decals are excellent. Nice relief on canopy rails for painting. Gear doors fit well in up position after a little cutting. Love that checkerboard tail! Highly recommend!

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.
