Tamiya 60769 - 1/72 P-47D Razorback Scale Model (Collector Edition)  [60769]

Overview of the P-47D Razorback

The P-47D Thunderbolt, nicknamed the Razorback for its raised fuselage spine, was a frontline fighter in World War II. With a supercharged powerplant delivering about 2000hp, it could fly at high altitude to escort bomber formations. Fitted with eight 12.7mm machineguns, the aircraft offered strong defensive firepower and heavy survivability for ground attack tasks.
