About product

Republic P-47D-22RE Thunderbolt French Service - Basic Kit (1:48, MiniArt)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the legendary Republic P-47D-22RE Thunderbolt fighter in 1:48 scale from MiniArt, in the Basic Kit version. Basic means that the box holds plastic parts only, without photo-etch and masks, and a narrower choice of markings; it is the same quality tooling in a slimmer package. The model focuses on aircraft in French service.

The real subject

The P-47 Thunderbolt was one of the heaviest single-engine fighters of the Second World War, powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engine with a turbocharger. It stood out for its toughness, heavy machine-gun armament and ability to carry bombs and rockets, which made it a feared fighter-bomber. The D-22RE version belongs to the production run with a framed canopy and the characteristic razorback spine behind the cockpit. After the war Thunderbolts also served with the French Air Force.

Building and painting tips

Use thin cement for plastic and pay attention to the finely detailed engine and cockpit. Paint the interior before you close the fuselage. Lay down a primer, then airbrush a natural bare-metal finish or the camouflage scheme of your chosen subject. Bring out the panel lines and rivets with a wash and liven up the metal areas with metalizer shades. Prepare the canopy masks separately: they are not in the box.

Who the model is for

  • collectors of Second World War fighters in 1:48
  • modelers interested in the postwar French service of American aircraft
  • builders who want a sound plastic basis with plastic parts only

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
