This is Academy’s 1/72 scale plastic model of the P-47D Thunderbolt with the Bubbletop canopy. In May 1941, as the war escalated in Europe, the XP-47B single-engine fighter appeared as a prototype from Republic's design team. The XP-47B was intended for long-range escort missions for bombers directed into German airspace. It had a 2,000 hp R-2800 radial engine, supercharger, and eight 12.7 mm machine guns. This prototype evolved into the P-47D Thunderbolt fighter bomber with the improved bubble-type canopy, giving a wider field of view. The massive form of the plane, particularly its cowling and belly, has been accurately reproduced in this model.
