New 72nd P-47N on the block.  Doesn't look too bad at all.

Presumably it'll appear as an Xtrakit in about a week........  ;D

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Picked the P-47N up the other day. Looks quite nice
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

And so it ought to be at $33.00!!!  :o

Another for Sword which seems flawed judging by the review.

It looks like Scott's only complaint is that the cockpit isn't in resin.

I actually thought he inferred that it would be difficult to build a P-80A from the kit, but upon re-reading it, perhaps he's suggesting such a build prior to this kits release.

The Seafire LIIc is a beauty, really crisp tooling and the spare fuselage is most welcome.

Yeah, backdating the P-80C's out there to a P-80A isn't impossible, it's just a PITA, since there are both subtle and not so subtle changes, including getting a new canopy. So it's nice to have a ready made P-80A

A new Spitfire for Sword in the guise of a recce variant.  I'm sure some will bemoan about something but it's nice to see a less represented machine.

Now THAT I like!  :thumbsup: (But then I would, wouldn't I?  ;D)

I don't think a PR IV has been kitted in any scale before, and it comes with all the goodies too, long and short wings, 3 different oil tank/air intakes and two props. And I don't think I've ever seen a non vac-form PR canopy before either, they should sell that on its own on the add-on market,

Non vacform PR canopy?  Fujimi PR.XIX, MPM PR.XI and Airfix PR.XIX?

The long span tips will be for BR416 (which was a PR1D, not a Mk IV proper).  Very welcome release, I can see me getting half a dozen as it means it's the basis for a PR.1D out of the box.

Nice. Now what do I do with the Tamiya Mk 1's and Pavla PR upgrade kits I bought?   :unsure:
