Decals by AMtech 1/72
P-47N Thunderbolt

You probably have one or more of the Academy or Heller 1/72 P-47N Thunderbolt kits stashed away for a rainy day. If you have one and you are looking for some nice nose art for your Pacific Jug, then your wait is over. AMtech has released this decal set with four colorful aicraft to choose from:

• P-47N, 19 FS/318 FG, 'Red-E-Ruth'
• P-47N-2-RE, 19 FS/318 FG, 'They Satisfy'
• P-47N-1-RE, 73 FS, 318 FG, 'Sack Happy'
• P-47N-2-RE, 463 FS/507 FG, 'Chautauqua'

These decals are printed by Three Guys Replicas (TGR). The printing is perfectly in register. The instructions providing excellent color references as well as decal placement information. If you haven't acquired one of these kits, fear not - AMtech has released the P-40F resin nose and decals now as a separate detail set. Check out our review under detail sets.

While other decals in the TGR line are available from online sources like Squadron Mail Order, the Decals by AMtech line is a little more difficult to locate. I did find that Hannants had this set available, though they are listed as TGR.
