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.

Yes, the panel lines and surface detail are well suited to washes, drybrushing and other weathering techniques used by experienced modellers.
Aftermarket decal sheets exist for this airframe in 1/72. They offer more marking variants if you want a specific squadron finish beyond the two provided.
Some seam lines are expected where halves join. Light sanding and filler will improve joins before priming and painting for a clean result.
