In this video, join me on a journey as I share my experience building a 1/72nd scale model of the iconic P-47 Thunderbolt by Hasegawa. From failures in assembly to disappointing detailing, I'll guide you through the process of bringing this legendary aircraft to a disastrous end... in miniature form. Whether you're a scale modeling enthusiast or simply curious about the art of model building, this video is packed with a fine example at how to fail at the hobby an enjoy doing it.

I've built quite a few p-47s, and this hasegawa kit was my favorite for how quickly it went together. Can't wait to try their 1/32 jug!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It's always great to hear from fellow modelers. I agree, the Hasegawa 1/72nd scale P-47 was quick to build. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Best of luck with the 1/32 jug-I'm sure it's going to be an amazing project. Feel free to share your progress or any tips you come across. Happy modeling!

This is a very old mold and have its issues, but i have fun building it in the past. Academy based their P-47 on this mold btw. For the best results in 1/72 scale, Tamiya is certantly the one, but Hobbyboss has the correct shape too (also avoid Revell)

I generally try to avoid Revell in general. I am definitely looking forward to building the Tamiya kits.

I built an older boxing of this over the summer. I really did not enjoy it. I built a Academy Razerback version. I enjoyed that more. I have a Italeri P-47N to build next. i hope that will be a good one.

Thanks for sharing your experience! It's interesting how different kits can provide varied experiences. I've don't know much about the Academy Razorback version, but it's great that you enjoyed working on it. Best of luck with the Italeri P-47N! I hope it turns out to be a rewarding build for you. Feel free to share your progress or any insights along the way. Happy modeling!

It's on odd kit. I like it in a perverse way! Hahahah. The wheel wells are .........odd. The cockpit can be improved by scratch building some details but those odd wheel wells..............
