Tamiya 60770 - 1/72 WB P-47D Thunderbolt Bubbletop  [60770]

1/72 Scale P-47D Thunderbolt "Bubbletop" Model Kit

The P-47D Thunderbolt is celebrated as one of World War II's most formidable fighter aircraft, distinguished by its robust design and versatility in both high-altitude bomber escort missions and low-altitude ground attacks. Known for its turbo-supercharged engine, the Thunderbolt was a key player on both the European and Pacific fronts. The introduction of the "Bubbletop" canopy enhanced pilot visibility significantly, marking a notable evolution from its predecessors.

About the Model

This model captures the aircraft's distinctive bulk and features newly designed components to accurately represent the fuselage and canopy. Measuring just 153mm in length, it's an ideal size for collectors and display enthusiasts alike.
