The P-47D Thunderbolt, which made its debut in the later stages of World War II alongside the P-51 Mustang, became a primary combat aircraft for the U.S. Army. With its impressive size, sturdy build, and high-output 2,000-horsepower engine, the P-47D exudes an image of power and opulence inherent to American fighter bombers. The British Royal Air Force highly valued its capabilities and adopted the initial production model, "Razorback," as the Thunderbolt Mk.I and the later "Bubbletop" production model as the Thunderbolt Mk.II. Recognizing its high performance and tough characteristics, the British Royal Air Force selected the Thunderbolt to play a key role in the India-Burma theater towards the end of the war.

Now, you can explore the remarkable presence of the Thunderbolt, a vital asset of the British Royal Air Force, in a palm-sized 1/144 scale model kit. The kit features two Bubbletop model Thunderbolt Mk.II aircraft with a distinctive teardrop canopy. The marking selection includes two aircraft from the Burma campaign and two that were trained in North Africa in anticipation of tropical combat. All four marking options feature distinct aircraft paint styles, adding to their allure.

Included markings cover standard gray camouflage of British fighters, brown camouflage reflecting the harshness of the Burma campaign, unpainted silver akin to U.S. aircraft, and an impressive custom paint for a training unit commander. Delight in choosing these unique markings that highlight the rugged charm of the British Royal Air Force Thunderbolt, known for delivering outstanding performance even in Europe's extreme climates and challenging operational environments.
