Revell 1/48 P-47N Thunderbolt

History

    P-47D Thunderbolt on wikipedia

Kit

    I think this kit is one of the first from the row of models that started the modeling boom. Precise, looking accurate (I did not check against the drawing, as I don't do it) and definately good base for detailed model even nowadays. So far I know there was only one problem with the tip of the left wing, where the bottom part was to slim to fit the upper one.

Construction

    I made this some years ago, so don't remember much. you can look at the photos, how it looks.

Colours and marking

The camouflage I have choosen is from Pacific theatre. I liked the ladies in from. I only made stupid error when putting de "21" decals, because I missed the correct position of it by the whole panel...

Conclusion

    Definatelly the kit that is more then recomendable. Only I don't know if it is still available.
