Hasegawa 1/48 P-47D "Razorback"
this is one of the mounts of Lt. Col. Baseler..."Big Stud"...commander 325th "Checkertail Clan" in North Africa and Italy 1943-1944...his awards include six kills,the Silver Star,Legion of Merit and two presidential unit citations
Very nice, Bob.
thank you Rob...honored to be a friend
Razorbacks look good from any angle.Nice job.
thank's Tony...they really do look like savage Razorbacks
You couldn't find a more appropriate name to put onto a P-47. Good looking model Bob.
thank you Terry...I'd love to know how it got the name
Quite a fine looking Razorback very nicely done and good photography as well. Mighty fine.
thank you very much for looking and showing your appreciation Jim...it's an honor
Nice build, you "big stud", you...one of my favorites. I saw that plane while in Seattle a few years back. One sometimes doesn't realize just how big they were/are until standing in front of one.
thank you sir...i wish i could live up to that...i remember the photo of you in front of it...and the Messerschmidt is so tiny
Nice build !
Top of pop!
Decals? Monogram ?

Bob, great work, good to see the Hasegawa built.
thank you Bernie...i agree on the Hase...good to see built
Great Jugs, Nice touch with actual photo.
thank you very much Bob...i agree i think the actual photo gives it a power and a chance to salute the airman
Bob, you are such a devil! Little freudian slip there, huh?
Very special, Bob, excellent build and presentation.
i appreciate that very much George...always a pleasure to hear from you

Bob, no matter at what angle a P-47D "RAZORBACK" is shown, it always looks great and in some way intimidating. The size and lines as well as the curves can be appreciated in this model. Very nice work.
thank you Ray...as you said it's rather a brute...i saw one parked next to a BF 109 and it looked like a tractor trailer parked next to a Porsche...it really looked like a bludgeon in a dive
Beautiful Thunderbolt, Bob. Looking sharp !
thank you very much Bernd...your FW is a picture of perfection
Thank you for this compliment 🙂
Stunning Juggernaut. Superb finish and colourful markings makes this one shine!
thank you Morne...how are things on your side of the world...much appreciated
Great looking Razorback! Love the Jug, in both bubble-top and Razorback look. The Checkertail look is always a treat as well - definitely adds a splash of color.
thank you Greg...i'm with you on the T-bolt...the bubble is so graceful and the razor is just fierce
Gosh that's a good looking T-bolt. Well done Bob
ahh...thank you very much Tom...much appreciated
Bob, meant to ask, did the tail checkerboard decals give you a fit? (no pun intended, I think...) Turned out great, by the way, and not an easy thing to pull off.
they went on like a dream,,,but they were old so i had to soak them 10 to 15 minutes each,,,thank you
Fine work Bob, a good old Jug...
Well done mate.
oh thank you Si...great to here from you
Excellent work Bob!
thank you Frank..."Little Chief" is impressive
Great job, Bob!
thank you Sebastijan for your kindness
