Looking forward to both kits. On the MiniArt P-47 I'm working on at the moment some of the rivets are a little heavy, but sanding down the surface made them look a lot better. Will be interesting to see if they improve on the FW 190 and hopefully get the surface detail more consistent and a little finer.
Love Miniart -got numerous of their kits, from buses to tanks to the odd P-47. Not 100% perfect but great detailing. Love their figures too... -I must, I have loads! BTW thx for the socks advice, got some coming to try. If the SMC falters (perish the thought), you should have a channel advising blokes on what fashions to get from ex-army surplus...
I bought my p-47 at Telford last year so a bit older. I want that razorback 😊 that is so cool. The 190 looks interesting, but for the stash stash can't be to big😅
👍🏻 Jamie, a bit off piste but can you point me in the direction of a good canopy tinting technique? I’d like to tint the side panel windows of the windscreen only of an A10C Warthog , the real things have a brownish hue (Tamiya smoke) ? Sorry, I appreciate it’s your holiday 😆
The Dora is a tactical masterstroke, getting to market before a new tool Eduard.

For a bit of fun I bought the miniart Triebflugel and it is a very well engineered kit so I am sure these will be very well made too.
Good call. A new Dora was long outstanding as the older Eduard kit is the only viable option. Tamiya kit is too old now.
The Hobbyboss Dora is good
Wow! I love the Dora - can't wait to see this one...

Try a standard felt tip pen on the canopy inside surface, brown probably.
Try it on a spare clear part first.
Might try tamiya smoke thinned in clear varnish?
I don't know how good it is but Dora Wings has a 2023 tooling of the P-47 Razorback in 1/48.
The Dora Wings kits are of the earlier B and C versions, not the D
Interesting.
