    This is a plastic 1/48 P-47D Thunderbolt Airplane from Academy Plastics.
                       It's for experienced modelers.

     The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was the largest and heaviest single-engine
fighter to see service in WWII.  In the early stages of the USAAF's campaign
against "Fortress Europe," the P-47 was the only fighter able to provide the
bombers with an escort until the ultimate escort, the P-51 B & D Mustangs
entered service.  However, far from making them obsolete, this freed the P-47's
to attack ground targets, a role they excelled at.

          Markings included for two aircraft with bubble canopies.
