The Republic P-47D Thunderbolt “Razorback” is one of the most famous American WWII fighter aircraft, used by the air forces of the USA as well as Great Britain, France, and the USSR as part of the Lend-Lease program. The Tamiya model replicates the D version with a distinct “razorback” right behind the canopy, produced at the beginning of the series before being replaced by the “bubbletop” canopy.

It significantly contributed to Allied air superiority in Europe.
