Republic XP-72
1/144 styrene plastic kit.
Completed May, 2011.
Kit manufactured by Minicraft
This kit required some modification. The XP-72 was really an advanced P-47. I created a new nose out of acrylic and a ventral scoop that was a challenge to make flush with the fuselage. I used QuikSteel to fill in the major gaps and, though it did it's job there, it didn't sand well at all and required a lot of puttying.
