Tamiya 60769 - 1/72 Scale P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback Off-Ramp Model Kit  [60769]

P-47D Razorback Fighter Profile

The P-47D Thunderbolt gained the Razorback tag for its raised fuselage section and was a mainstay in World War II air operations. Equipped with a supercharger and an engine around 2000hp, it handled high-altitude work alongside bomber streams. Its eight 12.7mm machineguns and strong airframe meant it could absorb damage and carry ordnance for ground attack roles.

Model Construction Highlights

This 1/72 scale Tamiya kit faithfully reproduces the early-production P-47D silhouette, including a sharply tapered rear fuselage and distinctive belly shape. The parts layout uses mirrored fuselage halves and built-in joining beams to aid precise wing positioning and a solid build integrity.

• Contents include 2 x 108-gallon tanks, 2 x 500-pound bombs and 2 x M10 rocket launchers.
• Two propeller types included to suit the decal options.
• Marking options cover one European and one Pacific group.
