UK hobby shop chain Modelzone has teamed up with Revell to produce a special limited run of the Revell 1/48 scale P-47N Thunderbolt.
Modelzone has previously collaborated with die-cast model vehicle manufacturers, but this is the first time they have commissioned a styrene kit, with a special run of 3,000 Thunderbolts.
Revell's P-47N first appeared 10 years ago and scores over the Academy version with a more accurate engine, propeller and ailerons. The kit was first moulded in silver plastic, but this edition is produced in mid grey. Otherwise, the kit is unchanged, with decals included for 2 aircraft:
1. "2 Big And Too Heavy", 333 FS, 318 FG, Ie Shima, May 1945.
2. "Expected Goose", 463 FS, 507 FG, Ie Shima, May 1945.
The P-47N isn't on Revell's current production schedule, so Modelzone's run is a very welcome chance to grab this well-regarded kit.
The P-47N is available in Modelzone stores across the UK or via their website for £12.99.
