Definitely on my wanted list. Have always liked the camouflage of this particular aircraft. Cartograf decals, outstanding! Not sure about the pilot figure though. Thanks for posting Andy.

I assume this is their previous P-47 D with new decals. I like Academy's aircraft. Good instructions, easy to build, and there are aftermarket items for whatever you want to upgrade. Best part about this kit is they aren't using Academy decals.
