Modelling the P-47 Thunderbolt

Informationen zum Autor Brett Green Klappentext The P-47 Thunderbolt, affectionately nicknamed the 'Jug', was one of the most famous fighter aircraft of World War II. Used as both a high-altitude escort fighter and a low-level fighter-bomber, it quickly gained a reputation for being tough and resilient. Many different air forces operated this plane, and it sported a wide range of camouflage schemes, finishes and markings, including stunning nose art. Modellers have been well served with Thunderbolt kits over the years, right up to the latest highly accurate releases. This book takes a step-by-step approach to modelling a wide variety of P-47 types in 1/48-scale, from 'Razorbacks' in USAAF colours to RAF T-bolts in the Far East. It provides expert advice on conversions (including a Bubbletop to a P-47M), adding aftermarket items, detailing, and ways to achieve top quality weathering and finishes. Zusammenfassung The P-47 Thunderbolt was one of the most successful aircraft of World War II, and saw action in the Pacific, Europe, the Mediterranean and the Far East. This book shows the markings and variations of what has become one of the most popular subjects amongst aviation modellers.
