Product Description

Product Description

Although its 2,000 horse power R-2800 "Double Wasp" engine and exhaust turbine made the aircraft necessarily large and heavy, these proved to be no barrier to high performance, and it was utilized not only as an escort to U.S. bombers but its bomb load capacity made it outstanding in the ground attack role. Nearly 12,602 'D' models were built, which is the largest total of one sub-type of any fighter in history, and total production of the Thunderbolt amounting to 15,660. Even after World war II, the P-47 was popular with many air forces until well into the 1950s.

From the Manufacturer

The P-47D was a workhorse of the U.S. Army Air Force during the last half of World War II saw action in both the European and Pacific theaters of the war. Although its 2,000 horse power R-2800 "Double Wasp" engine and exhaust turbine made the aircraft necessarily large and heavy, these proved to be no barrier to high performance and it was utilized not only as an escort to U.S. bombers but its bomb load capacity made it outstanding in the ground attack role.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Little advice for beginners like me
    Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2021
    This was my first model and I learned a lot from it. First - scale. This is a small model (1/72 scale) that will require tweezers for some parts. Probably not for small kids. Wing span is about 7 inches, and length is about 6 1/2 inches. Second - get proper glue. I started with super glue and it made a mess of the model. I bought Tamiya extra thin cement and it was a game changer. Takes longer to set, easier to apply, doesnt stick your fingers together... Just get some, trust me. Third - paint. I started with brushing on cheap acrylic craft paint and it works but an airbrush/spray paint is definitely the way to go. Something to consider if you want to display the model or post pictures online. Last - decals. There is a way to apply decals. They arent stickers like I originally thought. You soak them in water, wet the model, slide them off onto the model... its simple to do, just different than I thought. I spent time trying to peel the “stickers” off the paper before realizing I was doing it wrong. Watch a youtube video.

    Overall, I loved this model. Great detail, easy to assemble, 2 decal paint scheme options. Its an awesome activity to zone out to while still feeling productive. Similar to doing a puzzle. I highly recommend it and have already ordered another.
