    Also built the above mentioned Academy kit and can concur that it is very good for the money with very nice surface detail and very affordable.

    I have built the Revell T-Bolt and I was pretty impressed by it as, I'm sure you know, Revell can vary enormously in tooling quality, very much pot-luck as to what you get (1:32 scale Hurricane from the late 1960s - Aaaaaaagh!). I note in one of the other comments that Eduard is mentioned - seriously, if you have never built an Eduard kit, do give them a try, even the 'basic' weekend kits are outstanding value for money. Not the most expensive but usually come with extra bits for alternate versions, all with exceptional detail, finely engraved panel and riveting, you will drool over the sprues!

      @@baanibarnes9711 love Eduard. They're fantastic kits aren't they?! I really hope they bring out the P-47 soon!!!
      Haha I know what you mean about Revell, I've been burnt a few times, you really need to do your research with them! They rebox a lot of classic Matchbox kits some of which stand up quite well!

    A little note for you: If you look at the Revell decal sheet, it states 'Made in Italy', that is where Cartograf are based and , I believe, they printed these decals, very good quality. For some reason I don't think Revell want you to know who printed them, Airfix don't seem to be bothered. I think putting the Cartograf name on the sheet is a good selling point, most modellers are aware the Carto produce amongst the best decals on the market (I work in the trade producing decal artwork for kits soze I know a bit about these things, hush-hush!)

    Having built a couple of both I tend to gravitate towards the Revel for pricing and variation of markings. The Balls Out scheme looks great built and the Wolfpack Blue scheme does too. Tamiya builds better but the scheme options are a bit boring imo. Hasegawa do a good kit as well.
    Hobby Boss did a Razorback recently as one of the quick build series with interesting markings for a Pacific Thunderbolt.
