Toby's Hobbyboss P47D Razorback. FINISHED
Not sure whether to do it as a C or a D. Doesn't seem to be much physical difference unless some can put me right on that.

Re: Toby's Hobbyboss Razorback
The C model was very close to the B model.
The first 100 or so D models were identical to the C model just built in a different plant (I'm assuming we're talking turtledecks).
After that, as with any WW2 US aircraft, you have to get down to block-number & manufacturer & date to determine differences and if they are visually different - they did not march along in an orderly manner.

Re: Toby's Hobbyboss Razorback
Never done a Hobby Boss kit, they look quite basic in parts terms, hows the detail/panel lines?

Re: Toby's Hobbyboss Razorback
Better than some others I've come across. Interior detail is a bit sparse but overall pretty good.

Re: Toby's Hobbyboss Razorback
I've done a few HobbyBoss kits but not this one. I've enjoyed making them every time, and am looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

Re: Toby's Hobbyboss Razorback
This is the kit I'm building although I may use markings for a C rather than those that come with it.

I think this shows that it really is a good little kit for all its simplicity

Fairly whizzing along. Nice fit with no issues whatsoever so far.

Re: Toby's Hobbyboss Razorback
I have only ever built the MiG-15 in this series Toby but I do think they are really good kits and would make an excellent follow-on from the new Airfix Quickbuild models.

Re: Toby's Hobbyboss Razorback
Looking good there Toby, it'll look the part in that scheme though I do question if the two Stars & basr under with wings are correct, noramlly just the one starbopard side. I wonder was this for increased recognition?
