This 1:72 scale model depicts the famous Republic P-47D Thunderbolt “Eileen”, one of the most powerful and durable fighter-bombers of World War II, operated with great success by the USAAF over Europe.
Powered by the mighty Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engine, the P-47D offered outstanding diving speed, high-altitude performance, and exceptional combat survivability, earning its reputation as the workhorse of the Allied air forces.
The kit includes finely engraved panel lines, a detailed cockpit, movable flaps, realistic landing gear, and a faithful four-blade propeller.
High-quality decals reproduce the distinctive P-47D “Eileen” markings of Lt. Frank Oiler, 84th Fighter Squadron, featuring the yellow nose and invasion stripes.
A striking and detailed model celebrating the power and legacy of the Thunderbolt.
