Small Scale Military Headquarters

Are Dragon P-47's good models? They are pretty easy to find, which makes me think there's something wrong with them, heh.

There is nothing wrong with the Dragon P-47 - except for the fiddly parts you will have to attach. They are the most accurate die-cast P-47 in 72nd scale you can buy. There are many different schemes and they made both the razorback and the bubble top versions from both the European and Pacific theaters.

Why are there so many? Because unlike their P-51 Mustangs, Dragon made the P-47 in large production runs. I have several and find them better executed than the Corgi mold.

They are outstanding. Like the Mustang I think they have more detail than any 1:48 versions.

All the fiddly bits you can use a little white glue to hold them in place.

The bubble tops have sliding canopies. The razorbacks have optional opened canopy.

The Eagleston and Gabreski are hard to find now. Still working on getting a few more.

thanks for the responses, guys.

The Dragon P-47's are fine models, the only issue that I remember is that some of them have the top cowl panels raised which isn't accurate, but the ones that don't are great models.
