Trumpeter 02265 P-47N Thunderbolt (1/32) – plastic model kit

Trumpeter 02265 P-47N Thunderbolt is a precise, large-scale 1:32 plastic model kit that allows for faithful reproduction of even the smallest details of this legendary fighter aircraft, which served in World War II theaters. The P-47N Thunderbolt was one of the heaviest and fastest piston-powered fighters used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). The “N” version was specially developed to escort B-29 Superfortress bombers over the Pacific and featured extended range, a newly designed larger wingspan, and upgraded avionics.

The P-47N model gained fame in numerous Pacific campaigns, such as the Marianas Islands, Okinawa, or operations over Japan in 1945, becoming an indispensable aircraft in escort convoys and ground attack missions. Its heavy armament (eight Browning .50-caliber machine guns), resistance to damage, and excellent performance made this aircraft highly respected to this day.
