Hasegawa JT57 P-47D Razor Back (1/48) – Plastic model kit of a WWII fighter aircraft

The Hasegawa JT57 P-47D Razor Back in 1:48 scale is a plastic model kit replicating the legendary American fighter – the Republic P-47D Thunderbolt, distinguished by its characteristic “Razorback,” the broken dorsal line of the fuselage. This aircraft was widely used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) and allied forces during World War II in Europe and the Pacific between 1943 and 1945. The Thunderbolt earned a reputation as an exceptionally durable, heavily armed fighter-bomber, effectively supporting ground troops and conducting raids on ground targets. The P-47D was deployed during the Normandy invasion and in offensive operations over France, Belgium, and Germany, among others.

The Hasegawa model, made from high-quality plastic, allows for a faithful reproduction of construction details such as the pilot’s cockpit, landing gear, and the aircraft’s distinctive nose. The kit comes with precisely made decals to recreate original USAAF unit markings. The model does not include glue or paints, giving the modeller complete freedom in choosing assembly and painting techniques. The parts have been designed with attention to authenticity, maintaining correct proportions and details according to historical documentation.
