Tamiya 1/48 Republic P-47D Thunderbolt Bubbletop and Support Vehicle Set

The Tamiya 1/48 Republic P-47D Thunderbolt Bubbletop & 1/4 ton 4x4 Light Vehicle Set pairs two classic WWII models for builders who enjoy mixed dioramas. It contains the P-47D fighter-bomber and a U.S. quarter-ton 4x4 light vehicle, each with modelling choices to explore.

Background and modelling interest

The XP-47B first flew in May 1941, leading to the Republic P-47 series known for its bulk and power. The P-47D "Bubbletop" served widely as a fighter-bomber, and this kit captures elements like separate flap parts, propeller options, and ordnance fittings.

The 1/4-ton 4x4 light vehicle was a staple of U.S. forces, produced in very large numbers. The model represents its lightweight frame and utilitarian components, making it a good companion for aircraft ground scenes.

Assembly features and display ideas

Modellers will find the set offers customization with a seated pilot and two marking choices for the Thunderbolt, plus accurate decals for the light vehicle. These features let you tailor each piece for static display or a combined vignette.
