Tamiya 60770 - 1/72 Scale P-47D Thunderbolt Bubbletop Model Kit - Classic Warbird Build  [60770]

1/72 Scale P-47D Thunderbolt "Bubbletop" kit overview

The P-47D Thunderbolt earned a reputation in World War II for rugged construction and multi-role capability, serving from high-altitude escort missions to close air support. Its turbo-supercharged engine gave it strong performance, and the later "Bubbletop" canopy improved pilot sightlines compared with earlier models.

Model details and scale fidelity

Tamiya presents a faithful 1/72 scale reproduction of the P-47D "Bubbletop" as part of its War Bird Collection. The kit reflects the aircrafts substantial fuselage and includes revised parts to represent the rounded canopy and airframe shape. At 153mm long, it is compact enough for shelf display yet detailed enough for modellers who value accuracy.
