Greetings again. I’m finding myself with a little more free time lately. Here’s a few progress shots of my 1:48 Tamiya Razorback, which I’ve been wanting to crack open for some time now.
As you can see, I’m not really a photo etch kind of guy. Most of the time it’s straight from the ol’ box for me. Although I used the Detail & Scale book for reference, I did take a few liberties with the red and yellow, to jazz it up just a tad.
A nice start so far.
Maybe brighten the pictures a little with software so we can see the cockpit better.
Looks good. and that is a nice kit to build oob. 
I don’t know if you are a group build kind of guy, but there is a p-47 gb going on right now. If you are interested, I’m sure they’d (we’d) be glad to have you join…
Anyway keep us posted on the progress.

Nice looking cockpit so far. Now you’ve got me itchin to beak open my P-47D Razorback. Since it’s OOB, are you going to build Little Chief?
Keep posting.
Great start to a great kit! I’ve become addicted to building the 1/48 tamiya thunderbolt. I’ll be doing number 3 and 4 soon.
Nice work so far, I’m building the same kit myself and having a great time with it. Feel free to join the P-47 group build, you would be very welcome. Keep us posted with your progress, Darren.
Very nice.
Next on my model “to-do” list is a P-47 also.
In fact I think I got five in my stash, including the Tammy Razerback and Juggernaught kits.
Decisions, decisions…[%-)]

I’ve been thinking a great deal about this question. I must have researched about every aftermarket decal sheet available. Seems whenever I find a scheme I really like, it’s for a “C” version without wing pylons, rather that my “D” version, which I intend to build fully loaded. Unless I find something more interesting, I suspect it will either be Little Chief or Spirit of Atlantic City, which are of course both included with the kit.
Thanks to all for the positive comments!
Got the same kit on the bench right know. It is about 80% done and it has been a fun build

Great looking CP. The pics are a little dark, but I can see some very nice detail painting i there. Nice job.

\Modelnerd - the pit looks great… very nicely done. After the last few heavy resin and PE builds… I am rightthere with oyu… OOB for a while.
I built this kit about six months ago. It is a awesome kit! The fit of all of the parts was perfect. I build the version with the indian head on the cowl the decals were great. It looks awesome. The only filling I did was the wing root. Good luck with the rest of the build.
