Description: Easy Model Platinum Collection 37290 Republic P-47D Thunderbolt Display Model USAAF 86th FG, 527th FS, Rabbit 1:72 Scale Length WidthRepublic P-47D Thunderbolt 6" 6.75" The last P-47D-5RE, serial 4-8702, was taken from the assembly line and modified by cutting down the razorback spine and fitting a bubble canopy in place of the original framed version. The new canopy had full 360 degree vision and a new flat armored windscreen. The first production version of the bubbletop Thunderbolt was designated P-47E-25-RE. Republic P-47D Thunderbolt Designed by Alexander Kartveli meeting a USAAC requirement for a heavy fighter, the P-47 was first flown on May 6th, 1941. Later models featured a "bubble-top" canopy rather than the sharply peaked "razorback" fuselage which resulted in poor visibility for the aircraft's pilot. The P-47, a deadly pursuit aircraft, featured 8 x 12.7mm machine guns; all mounted in the wings. Even with the complicated turbosupercharger system, the sturdy airframe and tough radial engine, the P-47 ("Jug" or "Juggernaut" as it was nicknamed) could absorb damage and still return home. Built in greater quantities than any other US fighter, the P-47 was the heaviest single-engine WWII fighter and the first piston-powered fighter to exceed 500 mph.
