## Description

Although its 2,000 horse power R-2800 "Double Wasp" engine and exhaust turbine made the aircraft necessarily large and heavy, these proved to be no barrier to high performance, and it was utilized not only as an escort to U.S. bombers but its bomb load capacity made it outstanding in the ground attack role. Nearly 12,602 'D' models were built, which is the largest total of one sub-type of any fighter in history, and total production of the Thunderbolt amounting to 15,660. Even after World war II, the P-47 was popular with many air forces until well into the 1950s.

Review: The Academy 1/72 scale P-47D isn't a bad model kit, it's simple to assemble, but it needs a little attention around it's seams & if you want an top notch details you'll have to add some aftermarkets to this kit. If you want to have really exquisite detail, with hassle free assembly & don't want to deal with aftermarkets though you're better off paying a bit more for the Tamiya kit. Personally, I bought this kit as it's the recommended base set to go with the Kora Models 1/72 scale TP-47G Double-Bolt conversion set.
Review: The parts had excellent fit. they came off the sprue easily and were well laid out. I use humbrol poly cement and the plastic in this kit had very fast adhesive properties.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the dimensions after assembly?**
A: This kit is 1 to 72 scale. When complete measures about 5 inches fuselage and about 7 inches wingtip to wingtip.

**Q: What paint colors do you need for this model kit?**
A: The basics are olive green for the wings and fuselage.  Red on the cowling and prop tips. Props black. Or some do the wings and fuselage in "aluminum " color scheme.  Google P47 and check out the various schemes and go with what you like. Testors and Vallejo and Tamiya paints are all good, though for me I stay with acrylic paint because it has less odor, and cleans up with water. Enamel does a number on my sinuses . Remember,  modeling is supposed to be fun and relaxing.

**Q: what type of glue do you use?**
A: Standard glue is Testors cement for plastic models available in hobby stores and on-line stores. However, I have migrated to using Gorilla super glue gel available in hardware stores, Walmart. Gorilla gel is easier to control during application and sets up faster. Don’t apply too much, though, as it can fog surrounding surfaces. For the canopy and other clear parts, use Micro Kristal Klear MI-9 adhesive.

**Q: any paint set you'd recommend to purchase with this?**
A: I just used a basic spray paint with enameled and thin brushes for the accents
