■Product Description
A powerful large single-engine aircraft
■Developed by Republic Aircraft in February 1944 as a successor to the P-47 Thunderbolt, this large and high-performance aircraft featured an R4360 28-cylinder engine producing 3500 horsepower. Armament consisted of six 12.7mm or two 37mm and four 12.7mm cannons. It possessed the firepower to destroy large bombers in a single shot. It achieved an astonishing 772 km/h for a reciprocating engine aircraft. Military demands were for long-range escort fighters like the P-51 Mustang, and with the rise of jet aircraft, only the first prototype with four blades and the second prototype with contra-rotating propellers were built. An ambitious aircraft that challenged the limits of the reciprocating engine. The kit has 151 parts. One version decal. Paint mask sticker. Two types of canopies (open or closed selectable). The cockpit is highly detailed.
