P-47 Thunderbolt, Wicked Rabbit, 55cc (ARF), Seagull Models

Seagull Models, P-47 Thunderbolt Wicked Rabbit 50 - 61cc (ARF) 80" wingspan

By popular demand, an 80" span version of the massively sturdy and successful front-line fighter. Perfect for 50cc - 61cc engines (or electric equivalent) and 9-channel radio

So successful has been Seagull's 63" P-47 Razorback, that it seemed almost rude not to offer the model on a larger scale for those who like their warbirds powerful and imposing. This is the result and what a gem it is. Modeled on 275719 (No.44) Piloted by LT James C. Hare (Jim ‘Wabbit’ Hare to his pals) of the 65th Fighter Group, Corsica, 1944, this is a striking example of Republic’s heavyweight fighter which, of course, was well respected for its mastery in both bomber escort and ground attack roles.

A close look at this new 80” span eye-catcher will tell you all you need to know about Seagull’s commitment to quality and accuracy. Sporting perfect lines, an authentic matt-finish color scheme, and more scale detail than you can comfortably shake a stick at – not to mention a fully furnished cockpit – this is a model that will draw a crowd wherever it goes. But that's just the half of it; good, stable, gun platform flying characteristics, Seagull's renowned build quality, and the convenience of a large top deck access hatch makes it a must-have model for fighter fans with a spare 50cc - 61cc engine kicking around.
