Recommended for modelers who have some experience with scale aircraft kits. The Republic P‑47 Thunderbolt gained legendary status for its formidable Pratt & Whitney R‑2800 engine, heavy armament and survivability. The D‑15/16 “Razorback” variant saw extensive service in the Pacific Theater of Operations (PTO), excelling in both escort and ground‑attack roles.

Once built and painted, this kit makes an impressive display model and a valuable addition to any WWII aviation collection.
