Tamiya 61096 P-47M Thunderbolt 1/48 Scale Replica  [61096]

Accurate 1/48 P-47M Thunderbolt kit by Tamiya

The Tamiya 61096 P-47M Thunderbolt captures the fighter's late-war silhouette with crisp panel lines and scale-correct proportions. It provides the parts and options needed to represent the P-47M as flown during the closing months of the war.

Background and scale fidelity

The Republic P-47M served as a high speed escort and interceptor, notable for its reinforced airframe. The real aircraft used the R-2800-57 powerplant and achieved quotes of roughly 761 km/h; the kit highlights the aerodynamic changes introduced late in its service life.

Contents and assembly choices

This 1/48 model includes newly tooled sections to show the P-47M's special equipment. You can choose among three vertical dorsal fins, add air brake assemblies and fit the relocated landing lights, while the cockpit layout features a flat floor and an updated instrument panel for authenticity.
