About product

P-47D-25RE Thunderbolt (1:48, MiniArt - Basic edition)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the heavy American fighter Republic P-47D-25RE Thunderbolt in 1:48 scale from MiniArt. The D-25RE sub-version introduced the bubble canopy with a cut-down fuselage spine, which markedly improved the pilot's view to the rear. This is the Basic edition, a simplified version without photo-etched parts and without painting masks, with two decal schemes. The more demanding Advanced edition from the same manufacturer adds a photo-etched fret, a detailed engine and open access panels.

The real subject

The P-47 Thunderbolt was among the heaviest and toughest single-engine fighters of the Second World War. It was powered by the strong Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engine with a turbocharger and carried eight .50 caliber machine guns. It served as a bomber escort fighter and as a feared fighter-bomber in attacks on ground targets. The version with the bubble canopy was a late stage in the type's development, more advanced both aerodynamically and ergonomically.

Building and painting tips

Cut the parts from the sprues and glue clean joints with thin modeling cement for plastic. Paint and shade the cockpit interior before you close the fuselage halves. Apply a primer before painting; an airbrush gives the best coverage. After the gloss coat and the decals, bring out the panel lines with a wash and add fine wear that matches front-line service.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American Second World War fighters
  • Modelers with experience of building aircraft in 1:48 scale
  • Anyone interested in the late P-47 with the bubble canopy
  • Builders who prefer a more straightforward kit without photo-etched parts

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