Hobby Boss 80257 P-47D Thunderbolt (1/72)

Hobby Boss 80257 P-47D Thunderbolt is a high-quality plastic model of a fighter aircraft in 1:72 scale, designed for self-assembly by modelers. This kit replicates one of the most important fighters of World War II – the legendary P-47D Thunderbolt, widely used by the United States Army Air Forces and many allies from 1942 to 1945.

The original P-47D “Jug” was famous for its powerful engine, robust construction, and impressive armament. It saw extensive use on both the European and Pacific fronts as both an escort fighter and a ground attack aircraft. These planes supported Allied offensives, escorted bombers over Germany, and attacked ground targets during the Normandy invasion and Operation Cobra.

The Hobby Boss model, version 80257, has been faithfully reproduced with accurate structural details – from the shape of the fuselage to the panel lines and weaponry. The parts are designed for precise fitting, making assembly much easier and increasing the satisfaction of building. The kit is made of durable, high-quality plastic, which facilitates both precise gluing and painting. You'll find clearly defined panel lines, a detailed pilot's cockpit, landing gear, and realistic miniatures of bombs and rockets.
