Although its 2000 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. ; Review: A decent model kit...

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 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A decent model kit... *by A***Y on 16 February 2024* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A well made , fun build kit. *by M***I on 10 September 2024* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Entretenido *by J***S on 20 September 2023* Buen pasa tiempo,se necesitan más productos como estos, quizá más económicos ## Frequently Bought Together - ACADEMY 12492 P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback, Multicolor - New Ray World War II Replica Fighter Air Planes ClassicAircraft P-51D Red Tails 1:48 - Academy WWII U.S. Navy Fighter F6F-3/5 Model Kit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/328358938-academy-p-47d-thunderbolt-razorback-model-kit](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/328358938-academy-p-47d-thunderbolt-razorback-model-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
