Can anyone provide detailed reviews about the 1/18 and 1/32 versions of 21st Century's P-47 Thunderbolt "Eileen"?
(I'm considering buying an Eileen and need help in choosing 1/18 or 1/32--if I can find one)

Thanks

Cant say, I turned a Dragon P-47 into Eileen. The big ones are nice but I think the smaller ones are tighter.

I don't have either of the two but for me I would consider the 1/32 scale one - it's just as striking to look at as it's bigger brother.

In the photos of 21st's 1/18 P-47s, the antenna is missing...

Are there ANY 1/32 P-47 "Eileen" available?
I've located a number of 1/18 Eileens, but no 1/32 versions.

dragon53 asked me to post a few pics and a short review of this in 1/32 so here goes. I like it and wanted it for over a year but thought they would always be easy to find. That proved not to be that true but finally I got one. I love it for a $15 plane first of all. It has some of the normal paint flaws and some marks on it but is 95% just fine. NO, it's not near the model that the Corgi 32s and HM SBD is from 1' away but from 5' away, it's a dead heat. The antenna seems a bit big and there are not many of the maintenance stencils that a more expensive model or even a newer 21st Century one would have. My 190s are much better in that area. The bombs are painted nicely unlike the ones that came with Snortin' Bull. The gear seems to operate well and is pertty sturdy. I display mine gear up in flight on a Corgi Legends stand. The checker board cowl paint is not sharp like on the Dragon 5x5 but again the scale/price issue makes it a moot point. The prop markings are painted as are all other markings. I'll let the photos talk now and am happy to answer any questions.

Decent looking P-47, looks like it has a nice bit of cockpit detail too.

i never thought 21st looked that good... too much plastic and panel lines arent thick enough - but thats just me

but the paint isnt horrible on thier planes

PARSIG9:

Thanks for a very good review and photos. The Eileen looks impressive, especially for the price.

Would anyone who owns the 1/18 Eileen and the 1/32 Eileen post a review on how the two versions compare to each other?....(I've already read some other reviews that the 1/18 Eileen doesn't have an antenna or gunsight).
