Details

The P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback is a further highlight model from the Giant Scale Series from TopFlite. The Razorback was one of the largest and fastest piston-engine US fighters of WWII. With her heavy armour and eight .50 calibre machine guns, the P-47 was much loved by her pilots and feared by her adversaries. She rapidly made a name for herself, and became one of the most famous warbirds of all time! The TopFlite P-47 Razorback is modelled after Dominic Gentile's ''Donnie Boy,'' a member of the 336th Fighter Squadron of the USAF Fourth Fighter Group. This aircraft won one of the most impressive low-altitude dog fights during which, due to Gentile's flying prowess, the adversary ran out of ammunition. This model P-47 flies just as well as the original and, as with all of our Giant Warbirds, the cockpit finishing set is included in the ARF kit! As an additional optional attention-getter the dro tank can be jettisond via the RC. In the air the P-47 looks just like the original! Become the pilot of one of the most famous warbirds of all time, and enjoy the unparalleled performance and gentle flight characteristics that make warbird flying so unique.
