Miniart 1/48 P-47D-30RE Thunderbolt Basic Kit # 48023
The P-47D-30RE Thunderbolt, a variant of the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, was a formidable American fighter aircraft used during World War II.
Introduced in the later stages of the conflict, the P-47D-30RE addressed some of the limitations of earlier models, offering improved performance and versatility.
The "D" in P-47D signifies the series, and the "30RE" denotes specific modifications made to this version.
One notable upgrade was the introduction of the "bubble canopy," providing enhanced visibility for the pilot compared to the earlier "razorback" design.
This change not only improved situational awareness but also gave the Thunderbolt a more modern and streamlined appearance.
Equipped with a powerful Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engine, the P-47D-30RE had excellent speed and high-altitude performance.
Its primary armament included eight .50-caliber machine guns, making it a formidable opponent in air-to-air combat.
Additionally, the Thunderbolt could carry a variety of external ordnance, such as bombs or rockets, expanding its role to ground-attack missions.
Known for its rugged construction and the ability to absorb substantial damage, the P-47 Thunderbolt gained a reputation as a reliable and survivable fighter.
It served with distinction in both the European and Pacific theaters, performing roles such as bomber escort, ground attack, and long-range interdiction missions.
The P-47D-30RE Thunderbolt played a vital role in the later years of World War II, contributing to air superiority efforts and providing crucial support to Allied forces.
Its versatility, firepower, and durability made it a well-regarded aircraft among pilots and a valuable asset in the overall air campaign.
