P-47 Thunderbolt 60-90 ARF w/Retracts w/Monokote

The Modeltech P-47 Thunderbolt with Retract!

This plane is Almost Ready to Fly (ARF)

It's big and truly beautiful, and just one close-up look at this "Jug" will ignite the fires of flying passion in even the most blasé R/C'er! In World War II, the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt opposed Germany's toughest fighters as it guarded American bombers flying over Europe and it prevailed. That same indomitable spirit lives on in this 1/7-scale reproduction made of balsa, hardwood, fiberglass and plastic. We've spent countless hours in research and development to present you this beautiful ARF. We've given it true-to-scale features like an elliptical wing, airfoil shaped, fully sheeted stabilizers, open structure elevator and rudder surfaces, retractable landing gear, factory painted, molded fiberglass cowling, and even a beautiful aluminum spinner hub that's custom made for this aircraft.

Through it all, the "Jug" remained a joy to fly. It's a great starting place for those who want to customize and detail the model into something well worth entering into a club level scale contest.
