Top Flite^® P-47D Thunderbolt Giant Scale Kit

Features

Precisely interlocking, CAD-engineered wood parts and vacuum-formed ABS plastic details simplify giant-scale assembly.

Elliptical wing planform with special S8036 and S8037 airfoils produce excellent flight performance using glow or gasoline engines.

Fully balsa-sheeted exterior provides an ideal surface for scale finishing — wide stance landing gear allows easy ground handling.

Kit also contains instructions and most parts for optional P-47D Razorback construction (except greenhouse canopy, available separately, LXSV09).

Many Top Flite scale options available for increased authenticity, as well as custom-designed Robart retracts.

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

To pilots of small, streamlined fighters, the P-47D Thunderbolt looked much too massive for combat success. But “The Jug” proved them wrong — and also ranks as one of the safest single-seat fighters of WWII. This wood kit is modeled after the 399th Fighter Squadron’s P47D-30-RA. Uniquely builder-friendly engineering and stable, forgiving flight characteristics make it a fine first (or next) giant scale project!

Top Flite® P-47 D Thunderbolt Giant Scale
Enjoy exciting, forgiving warbird flight using a wide range of glow or gasoline engines. The P-47D has a slow stall speed, excellent stall resistance and superb handling characteristics throughout the speed range — a great introduction to giant-scale flying! Top Flite® P-47 D Thunderbolt Giant Scale
Each aileron and flap is operated by its own servo for greater control authority — and the security of knowing you have a "back up" if one servo fails. The slotted flaps also help to preserve scale lines by internally concealing their control horns.
