1:48 US Rep. P-47D Thunderbolt Bubblet

Item No.: 61090

The floor model is a recreation of the US Republic P-47D Thunderbolt "Bubbletops". In May 1941, with the war raging in Europe, a single-engine fighter weighing more than 4 tons made its first flight. This fighter was the XP-47B, a prototype of the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, of which a total of 15,683 units were built. The P-47D was by far the most widely built variant of the fighter aircraft. This was fitted with an R-2800-59 engine capable of producing up to 2300 hp with the emergency water injection system engaged. Many sub-types of the P-47D, designated D-1 through D-40, were produced, but the early versions were nicknamed the "Razorback" because of their sharp rear wing.
