Tamiya 61086 P-47D Thunderbolt 'Razorback' in 1/48th scale represents the iconic American Republic P-47D Thunderbolt fighter and attack aircraft, which was one of the most respected Allied aircraft of World War II thanks to its rugged design and powerful armament.
The "Razorback" version, named for the distinctive raised spine behind the cockpit, was an early variant of the P-47D and was deployed primarily in Europe as part of the 8th and 9th Air Force. The aircraft was powered by the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engine, which enabled it to perform well in combat against both German and Japanese aircraft.

- Realistic cockpit with accurately modeled controls
- Authentic armament, including bombs and additional tanks
- Detailed Pratt & Whitney R-2800 engine
- Accurately modeled panel lines and authentic USAAF markings
