Revell 1/72 Republic P-47 Thunderbolt

This is the review of the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt in 1/72 from Revell



The P-47 was know as "jug", because it looked like a "jug of milk" of its time. Nevertheless, it as a heavy, but tough fighter, and together with its complicated but effective turbocharger, was fast and effective. Although not as nimble and elegand as the P-51, it had a great carrer and a good service sheet.


Portugal received about 50 of these, as a transition for the incoming F-84.


The model kit is good, with nice recessed panel lines, and easy to build.


The only problem is to fit the engine cowling, and some sanding may be required.


The landing gear has nice detail, as well as the cockpit. 
  



With not so much effort, it can become a very good looking P-47.


It is trully a fast build, with no big problems. I think its good to see that Revell still knows how to do model kits. I do recomend it.
