Easy Model P-47d Thunderbolt 527fs, 86fg Model Kits

Affectionately known as the Jug, the P-47 was a heavy (7-ton) fighter for its time. Designed as an interceptor, it found its true role as a hard-hitting ground attack aircraft. Its great structural strength and massive radial engine could withstand damage better than that of in-line engine fighters like the P-51 and P-38. With drop tanks the P-47 could escort bobbers as far as Berlin.
