Hasegawa 09140 1/48 Republic P-47D Thunderbolt

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was the largest and heaviest single engine fighter to see service in WWII. In the early stages of the USAAF's campaign against "Fortress Europe" the P-47 was the only fighter able to provide the bombers with an escort until the ultimate escort, the P-51 B & D Mustangs entered service. However, far from making them obsolete it freed the P-47s to attack ground targets in which role they excelled.
