About product

Engine P-47 Thunderbolt 1:72 (Quickboost)

A resin detail set, not an airplane kit. This finely cast resin set replaces the radial engine of the American Republic P-47 Thunderbolt fighter in 1:72 scale. The Thunderbolt was powered by the massive air-cooled Pratt and Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engine. The casting brings a faithful rendering of the cylinders and the ignition harness that is hard to manage in the plastic from the box. The set is meant for advanced modelers with resin experience.

What the set is for

The engine can be seen through the openings in the cowling, and on models with panels removed it becomes a prominent feature. The resin casting captures the fine structure of the radial and of the drives, so once painted in metallic shades and lightly weathered it looks entirely accurate. It replaces the simplified part of the base kit.

Tips for working it

  • First wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue
  • Cut off the casting blocks carefully and sand the surfaces with respiratory protection
  • Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate); ordinary cement will not join plastic to resin
  • Apply a primer before painting, resin holds paint better once the surface is keyed

Who the set is for

  • For builders of the P-47 Thunderbolt fighter in 1:72 scale
  • For advanced modelers with resin experience
  • For lovers of an accurate engine area

This is a resin detail accessory, not a model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a resin engine that completes a P-47 Thunderbolt kit you already own. The base model has to be bought separately.

It has a more accurate structure of cylinders and drives than the plastic part from the box, and it shows above all on models with the cowling panels removed.

It takes a little experience. The parts are washed to remove mold release, cut off the casting blocks and bonded with super glue. Sand with respiratory protection.
