Looks like Betheyn beat me to the finish post but I've spent most of today building the Hasegawa P-47 Eggbolt.

The box art



I like the disclaimer on the side of the box stating "Pilot figure and girl not included"

And this is what i've done so far... just got the bombs and props to clean up, mask and attach the canopy and then it's into the paint shop.



I agree with Andy these are a joy to build and are certainly a break from normal modelling.

Hi Nige,

The fit of the wing was reasonable for mine my biggest problem was between the aerial and fin, and the damn injection pin marks in awkward places (like the gear doors and the props

Cheers
