Modelling the P-47 Thunderbolt


There is a wide selection of 1/72-scale P-47 Thunderbolt kits available at the time of writing (2004). Several of these are truly excellent, while others are older moulds that no longer meet the high expectations of today's modellers. In this special supplement to Osprey Modelling 11: Modelling the P-47 Thunderbolt, we will examine the most commonly available mainstream Thunderbolt kits in 1/72 scale. The superb new Tamiya P-47D is the subject of an illustrated construction article (starting on page 14), and assembly of the Revell P-47M is also covered. The associated book, available from Osprey Publishing, contains historical background, a description of P-47 variants, a colour reference chart and a detailed listing of further reading and websites in addition to seven construction articles covering all the main Thunderbolt production variants in 1/48 scale. The aim of this supplement is to bring the content of the book up to the minute with the most recent releases in 1/72 scale.
