A new 1/48 P-47 Thunderbolt landing gear

Jug fans, get ready — the Thunderbolt is about to gain some serious weight

ResKit is working on a new 1/48 P-47 Thunderbolt landing gear set with weighted wheels, developed in cooperation with MiniArt.

This set is created for builders who want their WWII aircraft models to look not just assembled, but truly grounded in reality. The weighted wheels help capture the heavy, powerful stance of the P-47, while the detailed landing gear parts add the mechanical depth and character this legendary fighter deserves.

From the robust gear structure to the fine surface details, this upgrade is designed to bring more life, mass, and authenticity to your Thunderbolt build. It is a small area of the model, but one that can completely change the final impression.

Perfect for detailed builds, display models, and competition projects where every visible detail matters.

The P-47 was never a lightweight — and your model shouldn’t look like one either.

More details are coming soon.
