REVELL P-47N Thunderbolt, 5314 Assembly Manual

Affectionately known as the "JUG", the

Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was built in
greater numbers than any other United
States fighter in history. Known for it's rug­ged reliability, the P-47s were often flown
home with battle damage that would have
brought down almost any other fighter.
The P-47N was the last production vari­ent of the very important World War II
fighter. Mainly used in the Pacific Theater,
it's redesign incorporated increased fuel
load for longer range, escorting B-29
bombers. Additionally, the "N" version
featured distinctive squared-off wing
tips for improved roll rate performance.
Your Revell model features a detailed pilot,
cockpit, radial engine and wheel wells,
recessed panel lines, weighted down tires,
and underwing stores. Authentic decals for
two complete versions are also included.
