- History:
- The Republic P-47D Thunderbolt was a fighter aircraft used by the USAAF during World War II. The P-47D was armed with eight .50-caliber machine guns and could carry up to 2,500 pounds of bombs or rockets.
- One notable pilot of the P-47D was Capt. Daniel Boone of the 333rd Fighter Squadron, 318th Fighter Group. Boone flew numerous missions in his P-47D, including ground support and bomber escort missions during the Allied invasion of Italy and later in the Balkans.
- The P-47D Thunderbolt played a crucial role in the air war over Europe and the Mediterranean during World War II and was particularly effective in the ground attack role.
- This 1:72 scale model of Capt. Daniel Boone's P-47D Thunderbolt features diecast metal construction and authentic markings, including the distinctive "Checkertail Clan" nose art of the 318th Fighter Group. The model also features realistic panel lines, access panels, and surface details, as well as interchangeable landing gear and a display stand.
- Whether you're a collector or a history buff, this model is a must-have for anyone interested in the USAAF's role in World War II.
