Italeri 1/48 P-47D Thunderbolt Eto Model Kit

The Republic P-47D Thunderbolt was the heaviest single-engine fighter of World War II, its massive Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engine and turbo-supercharger enabling performance that matched anything the Luftwaffe could field at altitude. In the ETO, P-47s transitioned from high-altitude escort to devastating ground attack, earning the nickname "Jug" for its barrel-shaped fuselage. The P-47D's eight .50-caliber machine guns, ability to carry 2,500 pounds of bombs, and legendary ruggedness made it the scourge of German ground forces after D-Day. This 1/48 Italeri kit features the bubble-canopy D model with ETO markings.
