Hi, was just wondering if you guys have considered making a P-47D Thunderbolt for your WWII aircraft range?
their Aircraft are not made by Pendraken.
but are made by Raiden in 1/285th scale.

... and a lovely thing it is too!
Raiden is on the Minibits website.

There is a P-47 in 1/144th scale by Revell - been oop for years but you may be able to find one,
You can still find them on eBay

Thanks for the order, I feel obliged to let you know that we import them from the US though, so it might be a lot cheaper/quicker to get them direct from I-94 in Michigan? Let me know what you'd prefer to do and we'll get it sorted out for you.

To reply to the original query as well, aircraft are a lot more expensive to get designed/sculpted, so it's not usually financially viable to get them done. I am looking at some 3D print options for the future though.

Oh! Thanks for the information! If they are made in the US then I suppose I will get them from I-94. :-[ I also understand about sculpting new molds for minis. It must take some time and resources to do.
By the time you paid postage and VAT, if your order is over £15 in value, and paid the PO to collect it, I doubt you'd save much getting them from the US.

No worries, I'll get that refunded from this end and you can grab them from I-94 instead. All of the ordering info for them is on their site here and Dave's a great guy to deal with: https://i-94enterprises.com/ordering/

MSawyer's in the US so he won't have to worry about the fees and stuff.

I didn't grasp that important point :-[
Your prices, nevertheless, bearing in mind that they come all from across the pond are pretty competitive. I thought I'd discovered a new source of 1/144 until I took a look at your list.
