Product Description
About the P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback
The P-47 was the first single-seated fighter to be equipped with
a supercharger paired with a 2000hp engine, allowing it to fly at

the same high altitude as bombers. Armed with eight 12.7mm
machineguns, the Thunderbolt, with the P-51 Mustang, constituted
the main fighters of the US Army Air Force. This is the
representation of P-47D early production that was nicknamed
"razorback" because of the shape of its upper fuselage behind the

cockpit. The P-47D was a high-speed, high-altitude capable
fighter and escorted the allied bombers that were conducting
raids over Germany. Its 1-ton payload and its robustness made the

Thunderbolt the perfect aircraft for ground attacking missions.
