Standard of finish continues to get better and you'll just love the crispness of detail and decals on these aircraft. For example the wing detail on The Millie P, Dragon Wings P-51D Mustang is second to none.

Dragon Wings 1/72 USAF P-47C-5 Diorama Holy Joe Halesworth England (50181)
A superb diorama of a USAF P47C in Holy Joe marking as based at Halesworth UK in 1943

The first flight of the heavy P-47 took place on 6 May 1941. A series of modifications ultimately led to the P-47C-5, which was the principal sub-variant of the P47-C family. This variant was among the first Thunderbolts to be sent overseas for combat, and the 4th FG (Fighter Group) in England received this seemingly ponderous fighter. Warbirds is pleased to announce a new model of a P-47C-5 serving with the 334th Fighter Squadron of the fore mentioned FG. This splendid model is accurate in every respect and bears distinctive, high-resolution artwork painted on the nose. The aircraft is christened ???Missouri Kid??? and its markings and coloring are all authentic. This famous FG was built around ???Eagle Squadron???, a group of experienced American pilots who were serving with the RAF, many of whom were none too pleased to be trading in their nifty Spitfires! However, we???re sure that discerning collectors will jump at the chance of adding this mighty P-47C-5 Thunderbolt to their collection
