Dale1416 | Dumas Kit #217, P-47 Thunderbolt | Build | 02-Feb-12 16:29 | ![](user_aircraft_thumb100/24899.jpg) | Views : 1276 | P-47 Thunderbolt. Here is another of the (17 ½ “ wingspan) Dumas kits. This kit is #217, one of 27 possible Walnut scale kits available from Dumas. These kits are lacking in details, but I enjoy upgrading the models. Additions to this model are: the four blade propeller, engine cylinder representation, cockpit details (instrument panel, control levers, seat), and the two bombs, which were made from dowel rods and cardstock. |
