1/8 Plane 1500mm P-47 Razorback "Bonnie" PNP kit

The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was the largest, heaviest, and most expensive fight aircraft in history to be powered by a single piston engine It was heavily armed with eight .50-caliber machine guns, four per wing. When fully loaded, the P-47 weighed up to eight tons, and in the fighter-bomber ground-attack roles could carry five-inch rockets or a significant bomb load of 2,500 pounds; it could carry over half the payload of the B-17 bomber on long-range missions (although the B-17 had a far greater range). The P-47, based on the powerful Double Wasp engine, was to be very effective as a short-to-medium range escort fighter in high-altitude air-to-air combat and, when unleashed as a fighter-bomber, proved especially adept at ground attack in both the World War II European and Pacific Theaters.

The P-47 was one of the main (USAAF) fighters of World War II, and served with other Allied air forces, notably those ofFrance,Britain, andRussia. Mexican and Brazilian squadrons fighting alongside theU.S.were equipped with the P-47.

This new FMS P-47 fetures retracts for main and rear langing gear. The retracts are bigger, uses better components and a better structure. The oleo shock absorbers are made of metal. The gear doors add to the scale look.

Of course, this P-47 features working flaps, a 4 blades prop and a lot of scale details such as bombs and external tank.

The new FMS connector allows a one step connection of the wing servos.
