A brand new 48th set of P-47 decals of striped & checked Thunderbolts from Thundercals...

The biggest P-47 Thunderbolt fan I know (and there are many) is Norris Glaser. His decal making company is called "Thundercals" and guess what his latest release is... YEP - not the 1/144th Mirage F.1 - but a new set of decals featuring the P-47 in 48th scale - and they look very nice to this here Thunderbolt fan. See what the latest release is in our preview...
