P-47 Thunderbolt “Passionate Patsy” 750mm (29.5”) Wingspan Warbird with Retracts PNP from Skynetic – SKY1073-001
The P-47 Thunderbolt is one of the most iconic American fighter aircraft of World War II. Built around the massive Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engine, the Thunderbolt was the largest and heaviest single-engine fighter of the war — a rugged, hard-hitting machine that excelled in both air-to-air combat and ground attack. Its distinctive round fuselage, wide elliptical wings, and massive four-blade propeller give the Thunderbolt an unmistakable silhouette that warbird enthusiasts recognize instantly.
The Skynetic P-47 Thunderbolt “Passionate Patsy” brings the legendary P-47 Razorback to a compact model that punches well above its size class. Finished in authentic 310th Fighter Squadron, 58th Fighter Group markings — complete with the famous “Passionate Patsy” nose art — the model delivers serious scale credibility in a package that’s easy to transport and quick to assemble. And like its stablemate the TBM Avenger, it comes with fully electric retractable landing gear, a feature rarely found at this size.
Built from durable lightweight EPO foam, the Skynetic P-47 delivers a low flying weight for responsive performance across a wide speed range. The carefully tuned aerodynamic design keeps the model lively and engaging in the air while remaining stable and predictable at slower speeds for smooth, confident approaches and landings. A detachable 1-piece wing simplifies transport and storage, while ball-link control connections provide accurate, rattle-free control response. A detailed cockpit with molded pilot figure, clear canopy, scale armament, and pitot details complete the package — bringing the character of a legendary warbird to life at every angle.
Small scale. Large scale detail. The Skynetic P-47 Thunderbolt delivers the realism, features, and flight performance normally reserved for much larger warbirds.

Small Scale. Big Thunderbolt Presence. The Skynetic P-47 Thunderbolt stands apart with electric retractable landing gear, a feature rarely found in warbirds of this size. Watch the aircraft transition from a confident runway stance to a clean scale profile in flight — delivering the look and presence of a much larger warbird in a compact, easy-to-fly package. |

Passionate Patsy — A Living Piece of Warbird History Finished in authentic 310th Fighter Squadron, 58th Fighter Group markings, this P-47 captures the look of a real combat Thunderbolt that flew missions in World War II. Fuselage code H42, bold nose art, and crisp scale graphics bring that personal history to life on the flightline and in the air. |

That Unmistakable Thunderbolt Silhouette Few WWII fighters are as instantly recognizable as the P-47 — the massive round cowl, wide elliptical wings, and large 4-blade propeller make it unlike anything else in the sky. This model captures all of it, at every angle, from the ground up. |
 |
Scale Details That Earn a Second Look A detailed cockpit with molded pilot figure, clear canopy, scale armament details, and authentic pitot tube add another level of realism. The scale 4-blade propeller and spinner complete the unmistakable Thunderbolt character both on the ground and in flight. |
 |
A Warbird That Loves to Fly Plenty of energy when you want it, smooth and forgiving when you need it. The P-47's refined aerodynamics make it as enjoyable on a relaxed cruise as it is on a fast, low pass down the flightline. |
 |
Everything a Warbird Should Be Big personality, compact package. The Skynetic P-47 Thunderbolt puts one of the most beloved warbirds of World War II on the flightline in a model that's easy to transport, quick to assemble, and seriously fun to fly. |
