Well done! Great work.

Glad to have you back.

Excellent work Paolo. Love the tutorial on how you made the upper gun cover work out. Hoping Santa brings you that camera. Troy

Where to begin? The Trumpy Razorback is a great kit. A LOT of detail i.e., internal parts that will not be seen once everything is buttoned up, just fun to build though. The fit..... eh. The way you were able to tackle some of the other builds you have shown here, there should be little problem. The color of 78th FG Thunderbolts. Here is where the fun begins. O.D. Green upper with neutral grey lower is the conventional reasoning. However, I did read an article many years ago in a Fine Scale Modeler magazine, "Special Edition", where a P-47D Razorback "Miss Behave" of the 78 FG was built using British colors for the exterior. R.A.F. Green upper and "Sky" for the lower portion. All I can say is, have fun, fit twice, glue once, swear, remove part and re-glue. Lastly, best if you listen to someone else, who knows what they are doing .

With the announcement by Tamiya about their new 1/48 F-35, I now empathize with those who sigh when there is another Bf-109 release.

Thank you, John, for your time and effort with this unboxing. It was a fine treat sitting here on a day off, drinking my morning cup of sanity and reading your review. Always have been a ZM fan and this looks like another fine kit. Thanks again.
