This looks beautiful! And promises to be the first in a line of Jugs from MiniArt. And this is their foray into 1/48 aircraft.

Curious to see how it compares to the Tamiya Thunderbolt kit. Looks nice though. Lots of new stuff coming soon too.

I'm really glad they are doing this. Hopefully its not too $$$$$. I like that they're also doing the late -30 version with the dorsal spine

Well, this kit would add to the very nice 1/48 Hasegawa, Tamiya, and Academy P-47D kits.

Looks really nice.
Didn't we used to do a review build where we get the kits from the vendors as complimentary kit to build to promote the kit?

That was from Hobbico, when they existed.
