A plastic model that requires assembly and painting. Separate tools, paint, etc. are required.
Product introduction 1/72 scale plastic model. The design of the P-47 began with an air-cooled double radial 18-cylinder engine with an output of 2 000 hp and an exhaust turbine. The prototype XP-47B made its first flight on May 6, 1941, and those around it were stunned by its size, with a total weight of 5,480 kg, and by its maximum flight speed of 663 km/h. However, there were many initial problems, such as insufficient strength, the windshield not opening, and problems with the fuel system, but the U.S. Army ordered this new fighter, and 171 were produced. At the end of 1942, production of the P-47C, which was equipped with a 200-gallon drop tank, began, and when it was introduced to the front lines, its radius of action was greatly expanded, allowing it to penetrate deeper into enemy territory. . Subsequently, the further improved P-47D recorded a speed of 697 km/h at an altitude of 9,200 m, further widening the performance gap with enemy fighters. Among the D-type aircraft, the P-47D-25 and later types abolished the streamlined leatherback fuselage and replaced it with a waterdrop-shaped windshield to improve rear visibility, and although the maximum speed was slightly lower, It became an extremely well-balanced fighter, and combined with the exhaust turbine equipment, it demonstrated high performance at all altitudes, from high to low, and was especially ferocious in ground attacks.
