Hobby Boss 80283 - 1/72 P-47D Razorback Kit Summary

The P-47D Razorback combines strong lines and operational toughness from the wartime era, and this 1/72 model from Hobby Boss captures those traits at scale. The parts emphasize key surface features and make it straightforward to assemble a historically faithful miniature.

Operational Reputation and Model Accuracy

Known for durability and heavy armament, the P-47D served in many Allied roles. This kit reproduces the Razorback fuselage and paneling details, giving modellers an accurate small-scale reference for dioramas or stands.

Construction Notes for Modellers

Components fit together well and the instructions guide each stage of the build. The 1/72 scale keeps the model compact while preserving cockpit, wing and fuselage cues that matter to serious builders.

Collection Fit and Presentation

Once painted and decaled, the P-47D Razorback is a neat addition to a period collection. Its size allows grouping with other fighters or placing on focused display bases to highlight quality modelling work.
