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!

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.
 
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.
 
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
 
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!
 
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!
