Quickboost QB72619 P-47D Thunderbolt propeller Curtiss 12ft. 2inch w/tool 1/72

The Quickboost QB72619 upgrade set is a high-quality accessory model depicting a Curtiss 12ft. 2inch propeller designed for the American P-47D Thunderbolt fighter aircraft in 1/72 scale. The product is made from precisely cast resin, which ensures an excellent level of detail and flawless surface quality—significantly surpassing the typical plastic parts offered by standard model kit manufacturers.

P-47D Thunderbolt is one of the most distinctive and effective fighter-bombers of World War II, used mainly by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), but also by other Allied air forces, including those of the United Kingdom, France, and the Soviet Union. The P-47 took part in numerous operations on the Western and Southern Fronts during 1942–1945, excelling both as a bomber escort and in direct ground support roles. This model features a Curtiss Electric propeller, used primarily in later versions of the P-47D, noted for its characteristic blade length (12 feet 2 inches). This allowed better utilization of the powerful R-2800 Double Wasp engine.

The components of the Quickboost QB72619 set are made of resin, allowing for a highly accurate reproduction of the propeller's distinctive blade shape and precise detailing typically lacking in standard injection-molded kits. The upgrade includes a dedicated tool to assist with the correct installation of the propeller on the model. The entire set is intended for self-assembly by hobbyists and is especially recommended for advanced and intermediate modelers who are interested in authenticity and detail when recreating historic aircraft miniatures from World War II.
