Rick Griewski Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Sprue Brothers. Plain old plane kit. Maybe a good way to use up the extra decals and other after market bits laying around. I wonder if the box has the extra parts for the M variant. Or am I mixing this extras theme up with a P-40 kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I read " no wings" in the description. at 60.00 us, I'd at least expect a complete kit. Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom2 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Eduard have not done a P-47 themselves, but they have reboxed the Academy P-47, Hasegawa F/A-18E, Hasegawa P-38, Hasegawa F-104 and several more in the Limited Line. Sometimes they sell Overtrees of these kits too, some may be in very limited numbers and usually sell out very fast. Cheers! Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I've got the P-40M/N overtrees, the description stating no wings is probably copied from another release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I bought 1 Me-108 and 1 Me-108 overtree kit. Works for me. They show some 109E overtrees, including one without wings. The Hase jug overtrees would be a fair deal, but the no wings part is a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 I assumed that no wing was leftover from the Bf-109 offer from last month. 2 hours ago, Jennings Heilig said: I'm not aware that Eduard has ever done any P-47 kit. And I'm not aware that they've ever sold "Overtrees" kits except those that are their originals. For the reboxes they buy complete bagged shots from the other company and just put them in their box with their (crap) decals, instructions, and PE stuff. Maybe the over trees is a good chance to dodge the items you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrary to what SB says, it appears the wings are included.

phasephantomphixer Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Guess if you don't have the Hase. kit already and have some decals stashed. Back in the day, the complete Hase. kit was around $45 IIRC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Just had Sprue Brothers confirm that wings are included in the kit. It does not appear to include the P-47M tree but in all reality, that sprue, with the exception of the C series prop reduction gear case, are more correct for a P-47D bubbletop. coogrfan, Rick Griewski and scvrobeson 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oyoy5 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Tamiya 1/32 Corsair engine sprue is the way to got to get a P-47 M, and at 5 bucks for the sprue that’s the deal of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denders Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I notice that Sprue Bros' has corrected the description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
