1/48 Tamiya P-47M Thunderbolt

--------------------

 

The P-47M was the fastest of the Thunderbolt's family. I love the Thunderbolt, it's one of the best fighters of the WW2 . This model depicts the plane of Major Bostwick of the 63rd fighter squadron based in Boxted aircraft in April 1945.

In this plane the Major destroyed an Me 262 on 25 of March 1945 and damaged a second one on 7 April 1945.  His final score was 8 kills.

I used the 1/48 scale Tamyia model with decals from the box.
