SPA Modeler

I'm on the look out for a decent 1/48 scale P-47N Thunderbolt. I could have sworn Tamiya had the P-47N but not sure. Anyway, I came across this image somewhere and will get the decal set for this bird...

Academy and ProModeler did the P-47N in 1/48, Trumpeter in 1/32. Heller did one in 1/72.

John beat me to it. Tamiya does the standard D & M types in 1/48. But both the Revell ProModeler and Academy N kits are very nice. Each has its pros and cons compared to the other. Each will build up beautifully. I picked up the Academy kit myself, just because the Revell/ProModeler kit was out of issue at the time and hard to find. Revell re issued the kit not too long before they folded under Hobbico.

Thank.you. Now I know which one to get.

The ProModeler kit. There are two things that I wish were better, but neither is that bad. The landing gear legs have to be installed during wing assembly and after completion are a little wobbly, and the wing gun insert fit could be better.

I have the two Tamiya ones in the stash.
