Neo Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 They are reboxed vintage fighter series kit apparently good https://www.scalemates.com/kits/kinetic-k3212-p-47d-thunderbolt-mk1--1293542 Might be worth looking at luckymodel to source them as they are the owner of kinetic Ive see them often at the 70usd range LSP_K2 and Erwin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danjo Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Trumpeter have announced 1/24 scale P-47D's both bubble and razorback canopies, along with a P-47N. Not sure of release date but could be an option! Erwin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark P Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Are they worth it? Well, only you can really answer that question. I have both kits. I find that when the kits are increased in scale, there isn't a corresponding increase in the level in detail. I consider cockpit details to be a little soft and that for such a scale it could be better. Having said that, they are the best 1/24th scale P-47's on the market! (as of today). Look for aftermarket goodies such as wheels and open cowl flaps (they may be OOP, but worth looking for).

LSP_K2 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Excellent. Thanks, Kev, I have no idea what was wrong. BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Just now, LSP_K2 said: Excellent. Thanks, Kev, I have no idea what was wrong. There were two kit family assignments, but one was empty, so I removed it. This shouldn't really prevent the page from loading, so it's yet another bug I'll need to fix!

LSP_Ray Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 We also have two reviews here of the original VFS releases of the bubbletop versions: Review by Randy Bumgardner Review by Paul Kirsopp BiggTim, Erwin and LSP_K2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Howie Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Pretty sure VFS subsequently released the P-47M as well only a few years ago as a limited edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinetic did back in 2017 or so, but not VFS. VFS went out of business around 2009, and their 1/24 P-47 tooling had been with Kinetic for about the last 10 years.
