Historical Description and Application

The P-47N Thunderbolt was an American fighter widely used at the end of World War II, particularly in operations in the Pacific (1944–1945). The “N” version featured increased range and structural reinforcements, allowing it to escort bombers over the Japanese islands. The ACADEMY 1/48 scale model is highly popular due to its level of detail.

Product Features

The Eduard FE1307 set includes precisely made photo-etched seatbelts for the pilot's seat, perfectly replicating the details of the original P-47N cockpit equipment. The fret is pre-colored at the factory, making the finished seatbelts exceptionally realistic without the need for additional painting. Installing the seatbelts significantly enhances the authenticity of the cockpit interior, making it an essential element in the construction of competition and collector models.
