Folks, Searching for a Sword brand P-47N model in 1/72 scale if anyone out there has one unmade and may feel like parting with it!

Unbelievable ! Yesterday at work I was the "Advisor" on a pre-development application discussion for a vary large residential unit proposal. (What is he on about in this modeling forum you are saying...). Well I knew the town planner acting for the applicant and for some reason in the meeting she mentioned my interest in aircraft. Their architect then mentioned he was interested in aircraft but only modeling and was an IPMS member. We talked for a minute about this and I threw in "You don't happen to have an unbuilt 'Sword' P-47N in 1/72 scale in your stocks do you"? Last night he looked then called me. He had two as well as an Italeri 1/72 version. We talked and I am now the proud owner of one of those unbuilt Sword kits. Just amazing how things can happen - especially after looking for months to try and find one of those kits. Now to get it together and add my favorite P-47 markings ! My good mate who was the RAAF's Mirage airframe expert shall put it together for me as my skills pale into insignificance against his. Thanks to all on the forum who may have looked for me.

That's great! This story could only be better if the model you were looking for had been a model of a bus, wait for ages and then two come along.
