Tamiya 61090 P-47D Thunderbolt Bubbletop 1/48 Scale Model Kit

In May 1941, as the war escalated in Europe, the XP-47B single-engine fighter appeared as a prototype from Republic's design team. The XP-47B was intended for long-range escort missions for bombers directed into German airspace. It was equipped with a 2,000 hp R-2800 radial engine, supercharger, and eight 12.7 mm machine guns. This prototype evolved into the P-47D Thunderbolt fighter-bomber with the improved bubble-type canopy giving a wider field of view. The huge form of the plane, particularly its cowling and its belly, has been accurately reproduced in this model.
