P-47D-30RE Thunderbolt. Basic Kit 1/48

MiniArt 48023 – P-47D-30RE Thunderbolt Basic Kit

Build one of the most powerful fighter-bombers of World War II with the P-47D-30RE Thunderbolt in 1/48 scale, an American aircraft used extensively for both bomber escort and ground attack missions. This version features the distinctive “bubble canopy,” improving pilot visibility and combat effectiveness.

This MiniArt kit is a highly detailed aircraft model with accurate proportions and fine surface detail. Designed with a medium skill level, it includes clear plastic parts, multiple wheel options and the possibility to assemble hatches in open or closed positions.

The kit includes two decal options, allowing you to build different historical variants from the later stages of WWII.

The finished model measures approximately 230 mm in length with a wingspan of around 260 mm, making it an eye-catching display piece or diorama centerpiece.

For an authentic finish, Vallejo Model Color paints are recommended. Camouflage can be achieved using 70.887 Brown Violet (Olive Drab), with undersides in 70.907 Pale Grey Blue. Metallic details can be painted using 70.997 Silver and 70.863 Gunmetal Grey, while cockpit and small parts can be finished with 70.950 Black. Weathering with 70.983 Flat Earth adds realistic wear and operational effects.

Paint and glue not included.
