Techmod 48008 - Republic P-47D/M Thunderbolt (1:48) is a high-quality decal set designed for models of the Republic P-47D and P-47M Thunderbolt fighter in 1/48 scale. The product is made by the renowned Polish company Techmod, which specializes in modeling accessories and decals for aircraft models.

The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt is one of the most recognizable fighter planes of World War II, manufactured in the United States and used by the US Army Air Forces (USAAF), the RAF, and other Allied air forces. The P-47 model fought mainly on the Western Front and took part in operations over Western Europe, particularly in bomber escort and ground attack missions. The aircraft depicted on the decal sheet are those piloted by the Polish fighter ace, Capt. Bolesław "Mike" Gładych of the 61st Fighter Squadron (56th Fighter Group, 8th USAAF, based in Boxted, England). The set includes markings for two versions:

• P-47D-28RE, 44-19718 “Pengie IV”, code HV-M, Boxted, England, November 1944
• P-47M-1RE, 44-21127 “Pengie V”, code HV-M, Boxted, England, May 1945

The included decal sheet allows you to replicate the original markings and paint schemes of the machines flown by one of the most important figures in Polish aviation during World War II. The decals are printed using the latest technology, ensuring excellent detail sharpness, color vibrancy, precise alignments, and an ultra-thin carrier film, making application easy and minimizing the risk of visible edges on the model surface.
