Hello,
I would like to build a P-47D (bubbletop) in 1/48 scale. My grandfather flew one during the war (as an instructor only - he didn't see combat), and I plan on making custom labels to match the aircraft he was photographed in.
There are several kits on the market. I usually build WW1 aircraft, so I really have little basis on which to choose the best kit - does anyone have opinions?
(The plane he was photographed flying was specifically a P-47D-40-RA. The kits I've seen mostly seem to be P-47D-20 or P-47D-30 variants, though I assume they could be modified as needed.)
thanks,
chris
