Hasegawa 1/48 P-47D-25 Thunderbolt Angie/Susie" "

The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was the largest and heaviest single engine fighter to see service in WWII. In the early stages of the USAAFs campaign against Fortress Europe the P-47 was the only fighter able to provide the bombers with an escort until the ultimate escort, the P-51 B & D Mustangs entered service. However, far from making them obsolete it freed the P-47s to attack ground targets in which role they excelled. Highly detailed model kit includes waterslide decals and illustrated instructions.
