Model Forum / General / Models / September 2005P-47D Razorback poll
As far as I know there are three companies that make 1/48 P-47D razorback kits. They are all about the same price so, Which would the group advise buying? My skill level is more than beginner and less than expert. Thanks  SignatureChez > As far as I know there are three companies that make 1/48 P-47D > razorback kits.

The Tamiya is much nicer than the others, in my opinion, in accuracy, detail, and engineering. --- Stephen Tontoni Seattle, WA You forgot the Monogram kit. 8-) I second your opinion of the Tamiya kit, though. I've still got a couple of Monograms to build and use for Koster's XP-47J and XP-72 conversions. Don McIntyre Clarksville, TN Wait for another HobbyLobby half-off sale and get both Tamiya P-47's for the price of one. > Wait for another HobbyLobby half-off sale and get both Tamiya P-47's > for the price of one. Tamiya it is! Thanks. SignatureChez Any idea on when the next one may come up? Did Monogram make a Razorback P-47? I remember the bubbletop one. But the old Hawk kit didn't get mentioned. >Did Monogram make a Razorback P-47? Yes, shortly after I used the razorback from the Hawk kit to do a conversion on Monogram's bubbletop... ;-p SignatureAl Superczynski, MFE, IPMS/USA #3795, continuous since 1968 My "From" address is munged - click "Reply To" to respond via email.

Tamiya, Hasegawa, Academy and the oldest of the quartet by Monogram. Generally the Tamiya kit is rated the best, the Hasegawa kit goes together nicely but there are some issues with the fuselage profile being too shallow. The Monogram kit has some issues with the supercharger exhaust opening and has raised panel lines. I cannot comment on the Academy kit, never built it. Bill Shuey |
