|
Description This is a 1/72 Plastic P-47D Thunderbolt "Bubble Top" from Academy Plastics. It's for ages 10 and up.
Facts The P-47D was a workhorse of the U.S. Army Air Force during the last half of WWII. The P-47D was equipped with a 2,000 horsepower R-2800 "Double-Wasp" engine. Thanks to the great engine the P-47 was an agile craft despite its large size. This unique combination of abilities made it perfect for bomber escort roles and ground attack. One of the most notable changes ever made to the Thunderbolt was the installation of a "bubble" canopy, a modification that greatly improved flight visibility.
Features Plastic pieces attached to sprues and molded in grey.
The surface of the plane is decorated with fully engraved panel lines and rivet detail. Highly detailed cockpit interior, landing gear, and landing gear bay. Authentic engine assemblies with propellers. Underwing accessories such as bombs, rocketry, and extra fuel cells really dress this model up. Clear plastic canopy allows close inspection of cockpit. Detailed pictorial instructions guide you through assembly. Includes One 1/72 Plastic P-47D Thunderbolt "Bubble Top"
