Hobby Boss 80257 P-47D Thunderbolt Easy Assembly Plastic Model Kit

The Hobby Boss 80257 P-47D Thunderbolt Easy Assembly Plastic Model Kit is a tribute to one of the best American fighters of World War II. The P-47 Thunderbolt was designed by Alexander Kartveli, a Georgian-American aircraft engineer, and was first flown in 1941. It was built with a low wing configuration and classic tail and was powered by a 2000HP R-2800 Double Wasp engine, which made it very large and heavy but did not hinder its performance. The P-47 Thunderbolt was considered the workhorse of the US Air Force in both Europe and the Pacific. It was used for bomber escorts and bombing missions with the P-47 in the lead role. The Thunderbolt was so popular that 15,660 were produced, with 12,602 of them being the D specification, which is an absolute record when it comes to the number of fighters produced in one version. The Thunderbolt's usefulness and popularity continued even after World War II, and it was one of the most popular American fighters until the early 1950s. The P-47N was a common version, with changed wings, larger fuel tanks, and a more powerful engine, and it was used both as a fighter and an assault machine. The Hobby Boss 80257 P-47D Thunderbolt Easy Assembly Plastic Model Kit allows model enthusiasts to create a replica of this iconic aircraft. The kit is designed for easy assembly and includes detailed instructions and decals. With this kit, enthusiasts can relive the history of the P-47 Thunderbolt and the brave pilots who flew them.
