I've been reading about the new Dora Models release, a P-47B version in 1/48. Test shots look pretty nice too; Thunderbolt fans will enjoy this I bet.

Re: Dora P-47B
I'm not sure on how much mini art could improve on the Tamiya kit. Maybe engine and seatbelts
Re: Dora P-47B
Nice engine and gun/belt detail'

Not sure it's possible; however, if they had an amazing decal sheet, with about 5 or 10 subjects not produced before, I'd bite...tempestjohnny wrote: ↑Sun Jan 08, 2023 10:45 am I'm not sure on how much mini art could improve on the Tamiya kit. Maybe engine and seatbelts

Re: Dora P-47B
When you said a dora p-47 my first thought was a captured P-47 with a Jumo 213 bolted to the front
You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Now THAT is messed up!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
