You knew it was coming and it's finally here. Following the release of their very successful P-47 Razorback, Tamiya is getting ready to release the popular "Bubbletop" version that everyone has been waiting for.

While the Tamiya website didn't have an exact release date, the information regarding the Bubbletop was posted today so it's relatively new material. Here's a quick rundown of the kit features:


  • 1/48 scale, Overall length: 230mm, Overall width: 259mm.

  • Flaps come as separate parts and can be attached in the up or down position.

  • Parts for replication of 3 types of mirrors, gun sights and 4 types of propellers are provided.

  • Engine cowling flaps and the intercooler air outlets on each side of the fuselage can be represented in the opened or closed position.

  • Parts for replication of 500-pound bombs, rocket launchers and 3 types of drop tanks are part of the kit.

  • A pilot figure and decals for two different markings are included.


From the pictures on the right, the detail looks great and hopefully this will fill the void many modelers had with regards to this kit.

More information on this kit and others is available at Tamiya America.
