Tamiya 1/48 Republic P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback

This kit from Tamiya outshines Hasegawa's 1/48 P-47 by a considerable margin, benefiting from Tamiya's access to the former during its design phase. The level of intricacy is notably superior, evident in details such as the turbocharger beneath the tail fairing and fuselage contours closely resembling the actual aircraft. It offers flexibility to adjust wing flaps, cowl flaps, and turbocharger flaps, along with providing three propellers, rear-view mirrors, and gunsights. Additionally, it includes two types of drop tanks, bombs, and rocket launchers. The package offers two marking options: the one depicted on the box art and "Spirit of Atlantic City" from the 56th Fighter Wing.
