ACY2175   Academy Plastics   1/72 P-47D Thunderbolt Razor Back 

TECH NOTES
  This is a 1/72 Plastic P-47D Thunderbolt "Razor-Back" Model Kit from Academy
                     Plastics.  It's for ages 10 and up.

     The P-47 was a workhorse during the last half of WWII.  The craft was
large and heavy but thanks to a powerful engine and solid design the P-47D
could perform with great agility.  Commonly used to escort U.S. bombers, the
craft was also quite capable of ground attack.  Nearly 12,602 "D" models were
built, more than any other fighter sub-type in history.

FEATURES: Plastic pieces attached to sprues and molded in light grey.
          Modelers will enjoy the fine surface detail, such as bolt heads and
            metal seams, that decorate the exterior of the craft.
          The cockpit is complete with a seat, controls, and gauges.
          The detailed engine and propeller assemblies give the craft a very
            life-like look.
          Authentically modeled landing gear.
          The plane is armed with machine guns that peek innocently from the
            edge of each wing.
          Bombs and external fuel tanks are mounted on the bottom of the
            fuselage.
          Clear plastic canopy.
          Detailed pictorial instructions guide you through assembly.
