About product

P-47C/D Thunderbolt Decal Sheet 1:48

This decal sheet from Kits-World brings markings for a model of the American Republic P-47 fighter in the C and D versions in 1:48 scale. It is neither a kit nor an accessory part; they are decals with which you replace or supplement the markings supplied with the kit. The manufacturer makes a whole range of Thunderbolt subjects, including several in the same scale, so when ordering go by the exact designation and number of the set, not merely by the aircraft type. Use the illustration on the packaging of the particular set as your guide.

The real subject

The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was a single-engine fighter with a radial engine and a turbocharger, one of the heaviest single-engine fighters of its day. The C version and the early production D series had what is called the razorback, that is a fuselage spine running smoothly into the cockpit canopy with a restricted view to the rear; the later series received a bubble canopy. The aircraft was used both for fighter duties at high altitude and for attacks on ground targets.

Application: large decals need a system

Large markings and bands behave differently from small numbers. Trim the film as close to the printing as you can, so that no edge shows through on a more matte-varnished surface. Wet the target area before laying it down; on a wet surface a large decal slides better and does not grip before you have aligned it. Always squeeze the water and air out from the center toward the edges, in small sections. The base has to be gloss, a softener will help over riveting and engraved lines, and the whole model is unified at the end with matte or semi-matte varnish.

Who the sheet is for

  • Builders of the Thunderbolt in 1:48 scale
  • Modelers who do not get on with the decals supplied with the kit
  • Those who want to build a machine in the razorback configuration
  • Collectors who build the type repeatedly in different markings

This is a decal sheet, not a kit and not a finished model. The kit, paints and varnishes are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The number of schemes is given by the manufacturer for the particular set. Go by the illustration on the packaging; the contents of the sheets differ between the individual sets in the range.

There are several Thunderbolt subjects, including some in the same scale. Tell them apart by the exact designation and number of the set and by the illustration on the packaging; the aircraft type alone is not enough.

It is the term for the configuration with an unbroken fuselage spine behind the cockpit. The early Thunderbolts had it; the later series received a bubble canopy with a better view to the rear.

Wet the target area, lay the decal down and squeeze the water and air out with a swab from the center toward the edges, in small sections. The base has to be gloss, and a softener will help over engraved lines.
