The Republic P-47M Thunderbolt was an American single-seat fighter-bomber used mainly by the United States Army Air Forces in the final years of World War II. The “M” version was distinguished by a reinforced engine and was mainly deployed to effectively counter fast German jet aircraft. These planes played their part on the Western European front in 1945–1946, mainly during the late-war campaigns in Western Europe.

Eduard EX166 masks tightly cover all cockpit windows (front, sides, rear) as well as the landing gear wheels, ensuring crisp paint edges with no leaks or stains. Using these masks significantly reduces the preparation time for airbrushing, increases accuracy, and allows you to achieve professionally recreated, realistic glazing and tires. Eduard’s masking foil is characterized by optimal adhesion, easy removal after painting, and does not leave marks on surfaces. The product is recommended for both beginner and advanced modelers.
