Just won this for £8 including shipping. Bought mainly to use the Hamilton Standard prop as a pattern to modify props in some of my other P-47 kits, and for the 'flat' belly tank, as I may need a pair for under-wing mounting.
Cheaper than buying one resin prop before shipping, and I get a kit thrown in too!

Nice Dogsbody, I have all four types of tanks from the Academy kit in my spares box if needed ?

Well done Terry. A quick check shows the kit going from 40$CND-80$CND?????????? This arrived yesterday and the only reason I got it was it was dirt cheap...

Good stuff Geo. I don't normally use PE, but I grabbed a similar Eduard set for the P-47 razorback recently for the same reason - it was going cheap.
Karl, I might take you up on that, for the 'flat' tanks. I have one left in my un-built Academy kit, and two with the Hasegawa kits, plus the one coming with the Monogram kit, but possibly need five, maybe six in total, depending which subjects I model.

Terry, I also have an unused selection of P-47 tanks. Just holler if you need some.

Thanks Andy. I might throw this P-47 kit into the current PTO GB, as a RAF example, if I have time and the inclination. I've got spare large drop tanks from the two Academy kits, meaning the flat tank with this kit can go to another build. I'll probably have enough of the tanks, but I'll let you know if I need one.

Hi Guys

Just ordered these. The Corsair is something I have wanted to build for a long time. ( there is something sexy about it )

Those interior colors look interesting. I wonder how the colors match up. I couldn't find an online review.

That Jug kit you have has been around on a shelf for some time Terry. It's the same boxing as the very first kit I put together without help from my dad so that must have been maybe '72 or '73

 

[Airframes]

Yes Glenn. it was first released in 1967, and my boxing is an original 1973 issue. The box shows its age, and the decals have curled, cracked and gone hard - but the parts are crisply moulded, as you'd expect from relatively new moulds.
Some anoraks would probably feint or scream, if they knew I was going to build this, rather than keep it in a collection!

 

[Lucky13]

You're gonna build it!!!???


*thump*

Get up off the floor Jan, and have a 'T Stoff. You know I try to build my kits - that's what they're for!
But it occurs to me that I could get an income from selling the boxes to anoraks who collect them! I've seen some go for silly prices - not lots of £/$, but enough each for a couple of pints or so!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Man, I have an entire closet filled with unbuilt kits and could use a few pints.

Just won this one on ebay....
