I have been tempted to get that Harrier myself Rick, but like you I prefer WW2 stuff. The Catalina I built a while back but used the Airfix decals from their kit so I could do a Brit variant. The 1:24 P47 is huge and will be an impressive build when you have finished with it. Great stash adds mate.👏👏
The harrier was the only modern aircraft I’ve ever really liked. I think it was because it could take off vertical instead of just running down the runway and there is nothing like the sight & sound of a ww2 aircraft. I’m actually looking forward to the Catalina as it’s another one that I can sink some weathering techniques on. Looking through the box on the 1/24 jug for its size some of it is very basic and very softly detailed. 👍✌🏻
Hi Rick. I completed a 1/24 P-47 Razorback recently and have the bubbletop version. Overall shape is accurate. Fit is acceptable. Some small mods to fit the wings tight to the fuselage. There is a lack of finer details that are expected in this scale but these kits have a lot of improvement potential. I always thin the trailing edges of flight surfaces, propellors and cowl flaps to be scale accurate. A majority of the build on the Razorback was in modifying the outer surfaces. Posed in flight I did not have to improve on the gear and bays. With a polished metal finish many flush rivet details needed to be added. If interested, there are reveal videos posted on my channel of the P-47.
