1:24 Trumpeter 02427 Republic P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback WWII – American Fighter Aircraft Plastic Model kit

The 1:24 Trumpeter 02427 Republic P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback WWII - American Fighter Aircraft is an impressive plastic model kit of one of the most recognisable American fighter and attack aircraft of the Second World War. The P-47 was a large and powerful high-altitude fighter of around 7 tons, commonly called “the Jug,” and became a true workhorse of the U.S. Air Force in both Europe and the Pacific.

The P-47 project started in 1939, the prototype flew in 1941 and deliveries began late in 1942. Originally designed as an interceptor, the aircraft later proved itself as an outstanding combat plane for bomber escort and ground attack duty. Thanks to its great structural strength and massive radial engine, the Thunderbolt could withstand heavy damage. This Trumpeter model in 1:24 scale brings the powerful Razorback appearance to life with an accurately shaped fuselage and wings, detailed engine, cockpit, landing gear bays, grooved rubber tires and PE parts.
