P-47D Thunderbolt Part 1 1:72 — Print Scale waterslide decals

The P-47D Thunderbolt Part 1 set holds high-quality waterslide decals in 1:72 scale from Print Scale. This is not a kit; these are the decals alone, for marking and finishing your Thunderbolt model.

The real subject

The Republic P-47D Thunderbolt was an American heavy fighter and fighter-bomber of the Second World War with a powerful radial engine and a turbocharger. It was rugged, well armed and resistant to hits, which made it excel both in escorting bombers and in attacks on ground targets. It flew on many fronts and carried varied unit and personal markings.

How to use the waterslide decals

• Coat the area under the decal with a gloss varnish to limit silvering.
• Dip the decal briefly in lukewarm water and slide it onto the model.
• Use a decal softener so that it settles onto the panel lines.
• Once dry, unify the surface with a matte varnish.

Who the set is for

• Modelers of American Second World War fighters in 1:72.
• Modelers interested in colorful personal and unit markings.
• Those looking for an alternative to the kit decals.

The package holds decals only. The airplane model, paints and glue are not included.
