Hasegawa 1 / 48P-47D-25 Thunderbolt japan NEW

Plastic / Aircraft Model Assembly Kit
● The design of the P - 47 began with equipment equipped with an air - cooled double - star 18 - cylinder engine with an output of 2,000 hp and an exhaust turbine.

● On May 6, 1941, the prototype XP - 47B flew for the first time and the surroundings were stunned by the size of the aircraft, with a total weight of 5,480 kg, and I was surprised at the maximum flight speed of 663 km / h. However, many initial troubles occurred, insufficient strength and draft shields failed to open, and the fuel system also failed, but the US Army ordered this new fighter aircraft and 171 aircraft were produced.
● At the end of 1942 production of a P-47C with a 200-gallon falling tank was started, and when put in the front line, the action radius expanded greatly and it was possible to enter deep into the enemy ground .

● Subsequently, the further improved P-47D recorded 697 km / h at 9,200 meters altitude, increasing the performance difference from enemy fighter aircraft more and more. Of the D type, the aircraft that eliminated the streamlined fuselage of the leather back to improve the rear visibility and made a waterdrop type windshield was the type after P-47D-25, although the maximum speed slightly decreased, It became a well-balanced fighter, combined with the exhaust turbine equipment, demonstrated high performance at all altitudes from high altitude to low altitude, especially at ground attacks.
