Big Beautiful Jugs - OFFICIAL P-47 GROUP BUILD

Modeling Subjects Group Builds
1

Since I’ve joined up, there’s been a P-38 group build, a Spitfire group build, a B-25 group build…

Yeah, well, they ain’t Jugs.

I don’t think every plane can support its own group - but the P-47 can. The variants, the markings, the theaters of combat, the different nations it served with, and the plethora of kits across manufacturers and scales.

The build will kick off December 21st (marking the 70th anniversary of the first P-47B delivery) and run through 2012.

The Ground Rules:

  • Crossovers are totally cool
  • Partial kits within reason. And by reason I think drawing the line at “fuselage glued together” is reasonable.
  • You can build any kit you want. So long as it’s a P-47.

For Future Future Use

4

I’d totally be in. I’ve got a 1/48 Tamiya Razorback with the cockpit finished but nothing else that’s been waiting for a chance to come back out. I’ll be on Christmas vacation by that time, so I should hopefully have a nice week and a half to work on it.

5

im in. i have a academy p47 n . 1/48 scale. havent done anything on it at all

6

Im in, Tamiya P-47D Bubble Top, not sure which markings yet.

7

EDIT - ROSTER MOVED UP TOP!

8

Sweet! Got y’all added. some assembly required, is that -N the Expected Goose kit?

9

ha ha about that-- when i went to check the ole’ stash it magically became the pro modeler p 47 n (same scale though,so im not totally insane!!)[:(DD]

10

I think I’ve got a few jugs lying around waiting for the right occasion. This is as good reason as any. Put me down for a Razorback, 1/48. Not sure yet of manufacturer. Either Tamiya, Otaki, or Revellogram.

11

Yay! I was all set to start on the Trumpeter 1/32 ‘dorsal fin’ version, but was easily distracted by a newly arrived ebay steal on a recent binge (Eduard 1/32 Emil) that I should finish by the end of the year.

Put me down for the P-47 D-30 ‘Slick Chick’ 433221. I may not be able to do it justice but I’ll try. It will be the first serious run for the Alclad collection (used it on the NM front intakes on the Me 262 Yellow 3, and it worked great.)

Kit by Trumpeter, decals by Kits-World.

12

I’m interested in this one as well. Currently don’t have any in the stash, but by 21 Dec I’m sure I can grab a couple kits. I can let ya know which ones when I get them.

Mike

13

Right…got everyone down so far.

Still trying to figure out exactly which Jug(s) I want to commit - my stash is packed with them:

1:32 Trumpeter Razorback

1:32 Trumpeter P-47D-30

1:32 Hasegawa P-47D-25

1:32 Hasegawa P-47D-30

1:32 Trumpeter P-47N

1:48 Academy P-47N

1:48 Revell P-47N

1:48 Monogram Razorback

1:48 Tamiya Razorback (x3)

1:48 Tamiya P-47M (x2)

Choices…choices!

14

Looks like a nice collection of jugs. I’m jealous!

15

Hi DoogsATX, I don’t know if I can commit to building anything yet, but I would like to follow along. This should be a cool GB!

Mobious

16

So many jugs, so little time… [whstl]

17

hey doogs, is this the same one as someone put out a feeler a month or so ago ??

either way… I’ll be in… put me down for an XP-47H, yah… its got a HEMI… [Y]

18

Definitely! Hoping this GB will spread some good research as well as some awesome builds!

19

Yep - same one! Now that it’s getting closer figured it’s time to toss up the actual thread.

XP-47H! Woohoo! What scale? Assuming you’ll be doing a conversion job?

20

in 1/48 Scale… its a Koster conversion… I also have the conversion to do the XP-72, did you catch my XP-47J build last year?
(anothe Koster conversion )

hears a pic… nose art and tail codes are custom decals… Vance helped with the nose art…
