This is Tamiya’s Republic P-47D Razorback. If you want a kit with no surprises, this is a good one to pick. Everything fits and everything looks right. I built this one OOB, I just added tape seatbelts and Nitenol antenna wires. The markings are for the P-47D of Major Bill Dunham, CO of the 460th Fighter Squadron, 35th Fighter Group, Leyte, Philippines, December 1944. Microscale decals were used for the markings, the black ID stripes were painted on. This is an older sheet, patterned from Don Greer’s artwork on the cover of the first Squadron P-47 In Action book. More recent research indicates several subtle differences in the paint and markings. Kill markings were overlaid with flags from the Eduard Hellcat decal sheet as these were much sharper.
