REPUBLIC P-47D "THUNDERBOLT" FIGHTER - 1944

Description

Affectionately know as "the Jug", the P-47 was a heavy (7-ton) fighter for its time. Designed as an interceptor, it found its true role as a hard-hitting ground-attack aircraft. Its great structural strength and massive radial engine that could withstand damage better than that of in-line engine fighters like the P-51and P-38 helped it survive the punishment. (Scale : 1/48e)
