[About the actual machine]
The P-47D Thunderbolt is a large fighter developed, deployed and operated by the United States Army during World War II.
The engine is equipped with the R-2800 air-cooled radial 18-cylinder engine that produces 2000 horsepower, which was the strongest at that time. Equipped with an exhaust turbine, it boasts excellent high altitude performance and a maximum speed of 690km / h.
It first flew in May 1941 and appeared on the European Front from 1943.
Initially, he was assigned to escort a strategic bomber unit heading for bombing from Britain to Germany, but when the new P-51 Mustang was deployed, it shifted its role to a ground attack that made use of a sturdy aircraft, until the end of the war. I was active.
Also adopted by the Royal Air Force due to its high performance.
Among the most representative types of D type, the early production type "leather bag" was operated as Thunderbolt Mk.I.
The late production type "Bubble Top" was also operated as Thunderbolt Mk.II.
The Royal Air Force Thunderbolt advanced mainly to the Indian-Burma battlefield in the latter half of World War II.
They fought ground attacks on the Japanese troops deployed there, and air battles with Japanese army fighters such as falcons and dragons.

[About the model]
The model is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the fighter Thunderbolt Mk.I operated by the Royal Air Force in World War II on a 1/144 scale.
Among various types, we modeled a type of aircraft called "leather bag" in which the canopy is integrated with the rear fuselage. The sharp-backed fuselage shape, which is a characteristic of the D-type early production type, which is the origin of the name "leather bag", is also realistically reproduced.
Four types of Royal Air Force aircraft are available for marking.
We can manufacture both the dark green / ocean gray camouflage aircraft, which was the standard paint for British fighters in the latter half of World War II, and the dark green / dark earth camouflage aircraft, which was the standard paint for the Asian battlefield.
In the Asian battlefield, a blue / light blue nationality mark is also available to prevent misidentification as the Hinomaru.
It is a set of two aircraft that you can enjoy not only the chic charm that is different from the original US Army Thunderbolt, but also the unique charm that is a bit different from the standard British fighter.
