Historical Description and Use

The P-47N Thunderbolt is an American escort fighter from World War II, known for its durability and heavy armament. The "N" version was distinguished by increased range and was particularly used in battles in the Pacific in 1945–1946, including escorting B-29 bombers over Japan. The P-47N itself was produced by Republic Aviation in the USA and introduced numerous design changes compared to earlier versions, making it a rewarding subject for modelers.
