Tamiya's 1/72 scale P-47D Razorback has great detail in the box, a very nice cockpit, and builds up very well. Leon Storla (newtothegame) would highly recommend it to any level of builder who wants a nice, enjoyable 1/72 build.

A great build Leon!
Did this win MoM earlier this year?
I too have this kit all ready to go for the strafing campaign.The Osprey book is very good,and Ive got plenty of ideas from it for my build.
George Rarey really was a spectacular cartoonist.Ive visited his sons site many times,and the images that have survived are very poignant.
Im sure he would have become a very famous artist if he had survived the war.

Nice job, I love these birds. I like the subtle yet apparent panel shading, well done.

Thanks guys.

Lampie, Yes, this did win a MOM, but I don't remember which month. As for George Rarey, I really, really like his work. I even went ahead and got his sketchbook that is talked about on the website. It is pretty nice, and I enjoy trying to look at and replicate his drawings Nothing like drawing cartoonish airplanes
