Model Tech: P-47D ARF

Model Airplane News, Jul 2002

The popularity of almost-ready-to-fly warbirds seems to be growing daily, and it's no wonder with models such as Model Tech's new P-47D on the market. The 67-inch-wingspan model features a fully sheeted stabilizer, retractable landing gear, a painted fiberglass cowl, a custom-made aluminum spinner and an open-structure elevator and rudder for a truly scale appearance. It's constructed of wood and foam with iron-on covering, and the kit even includes hardware for retracts or fixed gear. The P-47D requires a .60 to .91 2-stroke or .80 to 1.00 4-stroke engine. It sells for $229.99.
