Hasegawa 09140 1/48 P-47D
Thunderbolt
This is a 1/48 Scale P-47D-25
Thunderbolt Plastic Model Kit from Hasegawa.
Suitable for Ages 12 & Up.
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.
