Hobby Boss 1:72 P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback

Plastic Model Kit

This is a Hobby Boss 1:72 P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback Plastic Model Kit. The P-47 was a big and very powerful high-altitude fighter, commonly called "the Jug". The project started in 1939 and deliveries started late in 1942. A total of 15,683 of this U.S. fighter aircraft were built in WWII. Early on, the P-47 was used as an interceptor, but later it proved to be an outstanding combat plane both in bomber escort and ground attack duty because of its great structural strength and massive radial engine that could withstand damage better than any other plane. This model was the major production version and 6,315 were built. This aircraft was powered by a water-injected version of the 2,000hp R-2800 engine, which gave it a top speed of 433mph at 30,000 feet. The P-47 models prior to D-25 became known as "Razorbacks."
