Hobby Boss Aircraft 1/48 P-47D Thunderbolt Fighter Kit
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 that could withstand damage better than that of in-line engine fighters like the P-51 and P-38 helped it survive the punishment.
