The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was the largest and heaviest single engine fighter to see service in WWII. In the early stages of the USAAF's campaign against "Fortress Europe" the P-47 was the only fighter able to provide the bombers with an escort until the ultimate escort - the P-51 B & D Mustangs entered service. However - far from making them obsolete it freed the P-47s to attack ground targets in which role they excelled.
This Republic Aviation P-47D-25 Thunderbolt diecast model airplane kit. It is made by Hasegawa and is 1:48 scale (approx. 26cm / 10.2in wingspan).
Diecast models are manufactured to various scales based on measurements taken from the actual vehicles. The rule to remember is the higher the scale number, the smaller the model!
So, 1:2 scale quite ltierally means it is 1/2 (half) the size and 1:4 scale means it is 1/4 (quarter) the size. Here is a rough guide to the size of our models although this will vary depending on the size of the actual vehicle. Please note that the scale and size of models differs per department.
