HOBBYBOSS 1:72 P-47D THUNDERBOLT

The P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback is a 1:72 scale static kit model of the powerful high-altitude fighter aircraft commonly known as "the Jug". Designed in 1939, deliveries started in 1942 and a total of 15,683 units were built during WWII. Originally designed as an interceptor, the P-47 proved to be an outstanding combat plane both in bomber escort and ground attack duties. The P-47D was the major production version, with 6,315 units built. Its water-injected version of the 2,000hp R-2800 engine gave it a top speed of 433mph at 30,000 feet. The P-47 models prior to D-25 became known as "Razorbacks". The model kit includes over 30 plastic parts and three sprues for the fuselage and wings, with a length of 155mm and a wingspan of 173mm. The kit was released in November 2012 and includes one clear windscreen/canopy.
