The “Jug” is back, and better than ever!
|

Though
it may not have been considered “sleek”, the P-47D Thunderbolt was nonetheless
a durable, dependable fighter during WWII, with a reputation for returning pilots
home alive. Top Flite has brought this nostalgic aircraft back to life with an
authentic 1/8 sport scale version of the “Bonnie” P-47D-23 Razorback. As with
all Top Flite Warbirds, careful attention to detail is evident throughout, and
Gold Edition kit engineering means any intermediate-level modeler will enjoy building
and flying this faithful reproduction of a vintage warrior.
