Revell have upped their game recently and make some really good kits- their Land Rover and Jaaag E-type are particularly good, though with the Land Rover they've scattered parts at random all over several sprues, which is very frustrating. Good job on the Thunderbolt! I'd suggest getting an Airwick wax burner, as used by SteamGeezer for transfers (I'm old enough to call them that!) as it works superbly well for keeping a supply of warm water close at hand.
Ahh, the mighty ‘Jug’ (why it got that nickname 🤷♂), watching with interest as I have both the razor back and bubble top in my stash, and a couple of near the knuckle nose art decals for each. Deecals/Dekals or as we used to say Transfers. Loving the paint scheme well done sir "cùm iad a’ tighinn"
Thank you again! This was a very good kit, once the flash was off and I must admit I was very impressed with the Revell paint thinning down like it down It's a good kit all said and done, beyond my usual Revell expectations 😁
There are two theories about the origin of the 'Jug' nickname. One is that it's short for juggernaut, the Thunderbolt being a distinctly large aircraft for a single-seat fighter, the other is that the fuselage is a similar sort of shape to a milk jug widely used in the 1940s.

Looks great.
Cheers, I wasn't expecting this level of finish from a Revell model but it turned out to be a rather good kit 👍
