Academy 1/72 P-47D Thunderbolt 'Razorback' summary

This 1/72 scale Academy model of the P-47D Thunderbolt 'Razorback' reproduces the aircrafts bulk and distinctive spine in miniature. The kit focuses on correct proportions so modellers can replicate the fighter's recognisable profile.

Historical interest and modelling focus
