Thank you so much for watching and your comment is so kind. I have built it and the complete build is on the channel or in the playlist. It has its issues and you do need to make sure you do every bit of the step you’re doing but it is a really nice kit which goes together really well. Thank you again.
Trumpeter's 1/32 P-47D Razorback is a terrific (albeit overengineered) kit, accurate in outline and with lots of lovely surface detail. The supercharger ducting, while nice, is completely invisible the moment you close up the fuselage. Other than that, this is one of the two or three best kits Trumpy has produced to date.
Many thanks for taking the time to watch and comment it’s very much appreciated. I totally agree but that’s why I’m looking at buying a second one to build the cockpit, engine and supercharger ducting as a separate piece to show it all off. But I don’t know yet.
K.G. 200 was the squadron that flew all the unusual and allied aircraft. The book K.G. 200 hundred by P.W. Stahl is by a pilot of that squadron, but there are a few same titled books on the subject.
1/32!!! That's massive you are lucky because your wife bought this for you and your friend is lucky to have you build him an awesome bird like this Mike! I say go for it, the interior i mean, it will be even more impressive! (even if it isn't so visible) Wife asking why you don't do dios? Hahaha, that is a trigger for you to make her one! See her opinion then! You may be lucky like me, my wife loves mine and she always asks me to do another one. Great review also. Thanks for shering, take care and keep up the good work my friend!
Many many thanks George as always, I am lucky that my other half bought me the kit but I think it was a little guilt cos she bought loads of stuff on Shein for her and my daughter 😂. Anyway I’m pleased and looking forward to getting stuck into it just need to buy another one now so I can have the cockpit and turbo charger and ducting as a separate piece to show it off better.
My brother & I have been all over P-47's in all scales. High lights are captured P-47D razorbacks flown & researched by the German's during the war. Flown to European air shows with all other captured Allied aircraft. They never got a flyable P-47 bubble canopy version although they did have a P-51D along with some B's. They had a P-39 from Russia. Nice review. Now we know.
K.G. 200 was the squadron that flew the allied and unusual aircraft in the Luftwaffe. There are a few books on K.G.200 including one by P.W. Stahl who was a pilot.
Many thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. My friend and I had a great day out visiting some of the WWII airfields and museums in that region. Looking forward to building it and I must say I’m quite pleased that someone bought it after watching the review. (Or did you?)
