I await your next P47 build!

I'll agree it looks okay in your photos,
but I know how photos don't always tell the truth
and its not a model designed for that scale.

I am well aware of the problems associated with upscaling a kit like this,
having built my own "big" scale (about 1/18) version of a 1/33 Tuskegee Mustang.
Upscaling exaggerates even the smallest imperfections.

The P47 was originally based on a 1/50 scale Marek design, so it wasn't really designed to be built bigger.
Its taken a lot of work to turn it into a 1/33 scale kit but it still may lack certain qualities (for further upscale).
Like a suitable internal structure.
Thats the biggest problem with the larger Mustang I did.
Its weak and crushable in many areas.
I was just curious as to how one would look that big.
