This is one of Corgi's more popular "Jugs" and it's easy to see why -- the D-Day stripes and checkered cowl make for an eye-popping plane to
display. It's very cleanly put together, too, with an excellent overall fit/finish and zero assembly issues (at least for mine). The in-flight display stand
is very sturdy as well.
The Fighter Collection out of Duxford, England, currently owns a restored P-47 that has been repainted in the same livery. This aircraft is
airworthy and makes the airshow circuit rounds (adding to the model's popularity, no doubt). The history of the aircraft can be viewed on the The
Fighter Collection site.
The model is just so darn "purty" and well-made that it's a hard one to NOT recommend. And this is from someone who very much prefers the
look of Dragon's P-47s. Recommended.
