I've already ordered one Fly, so I agree!

You and me both, Pappy!
"Big Ass Bird", "Fearless Dick", I think the guy at FM who choses liveries needs to step back a bit and get back to checkerboards...

The wilder the scheme the better! I agree with you Ara1, I do need "No Guts No Glory" or "Zombie" checkerboard razorback T-Bolts!
I likee this bare-metal 78th FG T-Bolts!!!

FM did the NGNG P-47 a while back I believe.... yup, B11B562 ... but you probably knew that... Kinda hard to find now I think without paying a premium, that is.

So you can at least get it in a bubbletop... but yes, a razor version would be cool... dig that Zombie!

Re: B11E749 P-47 Razorback Richard Kik "Fearless Dick"

What do you guys think?

I think it looks promising... but must wait and see. Let's hope they put an antannae on it. Thanks for posting the pics, fly. I wish we could get them a little bigger.

Re: B11E749 P-47 Razorback Richard Kik "Fearless Dick"

I saw that today as well...I don't think canopy looked right.

You're absolutely right JP...good catch there! It should be a 'one piece' item that slides back. I hope FM fixes this glaring error!

Oh boy... I didn't catch that one either. This one is real glaring. Ok... no antannae, and three piece canopy. The possible deal breakers are starting to add up. Hmmm... it is a pre-pre (I hope), so fingers remain crossed.

Re: B11E749 P-47 Razorback Richard Kik "Fearless Dick"

This one looks to be worth getting and seated next to & side-by-side with Rozie Geth II!

What do you guys think?

Being Honest FlyX - I'd (personally) be REALLY peturbed (put-out) by that "Two-Step" canopy, shown in your photo's

As a hardcore P.47 'lover' since the late 1960's when I first built 'Johnson's (56th Gp) "Penrod & Sam" I've gotta say that would WELL put ME off buying it = as one of the 'salient' points on ANY "Razorback" 'bolt, is that ONE-PIECE sliding (angled) 'Hood'

WHY have they done that........? it looks 'cack'


Unlike your later-post....."HL*V" 'Zombie' THAT is GORGEOUS !!!!!!!!!
