The P-47D Thunderbolt was a large fighter aircraft developed and deployed by the U.S. Army during World War II. It was powered by the Pratt & Whitney R-2800, an 18-cylinder, air-cooled radial engine, producing 2,000 horsepower. Equipped with an exhaust turbine, it boasted a top speed of 690 km/h. Its first flight was in May 1941. It participated in the European theater from 1943 onward. Initially, it accompanied and escorted Allied bomber units on bombing raids from the UK to Germany. However, with the arrival of the new P-51 Mustang, its role shifted to ground attack, taking advantage of its rugged design, and it served until the end of the war.

      Since its introduction, it has undergone numerous improvements and various variants have been developed. The most representative of these was the D model.

      Improvements were also made within the D model, and the aircraft's shape underwent significant changes along the way.

      Initially, the P-47 featured a style known as the "Razorback," which connected the rear of the canopy to the tail. However, a version equipped with a bubble-type canopy was introduced to ensure visibility. A total of over 12,000 D-type aircraft were produced, including all types.

About the Model

      This is a 1/144 scale plastic model assembly kit of the P-47 Thunderbolt, a fighter plane operated by the U.S. Army during World War II. This model recreates the Razorback version of the P-47, the most widely produced of the various types. With a finished length of 76mm, it exudes a dignified presence even in 1/144 scale.

      The powerful Razorback form, with the rear of the canopy connected to the tail, is accurately reproduced. Not only the shape, but also the panel lines of the fuselage and wings are sharply rendered. The engine cylinders inside the cowl are also modeled with parts, providing a realistic finish.

      Three types of four-blade propellers are included. Bombs often carried underneath and auxiliary fuel tanks mounted under the fuselage are also modeled. This kit includes parts for two aircraft, so you can build them with different specifications. Four types of markings are also included. Manufactured by Cartograf, renowned for its high quality.

      This kit is fun to collect and compare.
