Finished in a wonderful authentic
colour scheme representative of the Thunderbolts of the 78th
Fighter Group based at Duxford (station 357) England from April
1943 during World War Two. In particular, the aircraft flown
by Lt Colonel Ben Mayo of the 82nd squadron.
The Thunderbolt comes with a pre painted
checkerboard fibreglass cowling, fuselage belly pan, canopy,
molded dummy radial engine, black and white “invasion” stripes
on the wings and fuselage, a complete set of accurate squadron
markings, MX-X and a set of “No Guts No Glory” decals.
New improved retracts with adjustable down locks come pre-installed.
A complete hardware package including engine mounts, pre-plumbed
fuel tank, die cut plywood servo trays, control horns and
a comprehensive photo illustrated assembly guide that makes
construction easy, and few evenings work should have the
P47 “combat ready”
This is a great looking warbird, and due to its
size and carefully selected wing section (which minimises the
risk of tip stalling) the P47 is guaranteed to be a fantastic
flyer. To compliment the great flight characteristics, the wide
set undercarriage and steerable tail wheel give faultless ground
handling.
By using carefully selected balsa and laser cut plywood partsthe
Thunderbolt will prove to be a tough, lightweight model capable
of a broad range of scale manoeuvres and a full range of sport
and scale aerobatics.
With a fantastic UltraCote® finish this is a “must
have” model, and with it’s huge cowling the Thunderbolt
will take a wide range of engines, the Evolution 60 or 1.00 2
strokes are the ideal choice!
The full size Thunderbolt had a reputation of being a tough,
reliable aircraft capable of getting the job done, this model
will earn the same reputation! |
