This fighter was the XP-47B, \u003cbr\u003eprototype of the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt of which a total of 15,683 \u003cbr\u003eunits would be built. Thanks to war experience, this aircraft was \u003cbr\u003eequipped with a 2,000hp radial R-2800 engine, a supercharger and eight \u003cbr\u003e12.7mm machine guns. The XP-47B was to reach 633km\/h and in January \u003cbr\u003e1942, just after the United States went to war, the production of P-47B \u003cbr\u003ebegan. It was followed by the P-47C that incorporated various \u003cbr\u003eimprovements and, from April 1943, by the P-47D, the most built version.\u003cbr\u003e The P-47D was equipped with an R-2800-59 engine, which can develop up \u003cbr\u003eto 2,300hp with combat emergency water injection system engaged. The \u003cbr\u003educts that were passing on the sides and below the cockpit to connect \u003cbr\u003ethe supercharger placed behind the pilot's seat gave to this plane its \u003cbr\u003emassive aspect. Many sub-types of the P-47D, designated D-1 to D-40, \u003cbr\u003ewere produced but the first versions were called \"Razorback\" because of \u003cbr\u003etheir sharp edge dorsal fin. The D-25 sub-type, which was introduced \u003cbr\u003earound June 1944, was fitted with an electrically actuated bubble canopy\u003cbr\u003e in order to improve pilot visibility and increased capacity fuel tanks.\u003cbr\u003e This decision resulted in a completely remodeled plane shape. All \u003cbr\u003esubsequent sub-types were also fitted with the bubble canopy and became a\u003cbr\u003e characteristic feature of late production Thunderbolts. The P-47 \u003cbr\u003e\"Bubbletop\" proved to be an excellent, well-balanced fighter-bomber.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr clear=\"all\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"tmpblock_ block_v16_ wysiwyg_\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"img_\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"popup-image\" href=\"https:\/\/d7z22c0gz59ng.cloudfront.net\/japan_contents\/img\/usr\/item\/pkg\/61090_p1.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/d7z22c0gz59ng.cloudfront.net\/japan_contents\/img\/usr\/item\/pkg\/61090_p1.jpg\" style=\"width: 50%;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wysiwyg_area_\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"text_\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAbout the Model\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e★Republic P-47D Thunderbolt \"Bubbletop\" plastic assembly kit. ★1\/48 \u003cbr\u003escale.
