Republic P-47D Thunderbolt

105k Hedero  3.9 years ago

The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was a World War II-era fighter aircraft produced by the United States from 1941 through 1945. Its primary armament was eight .50-caliber machine guns, and in the fighter-bomber ground-attack role it could carry five-inch rockets or a bomb load of 2,500 pounds.

Here it is, the P-47D!

This isn't a specific P-47, but if it would be, it would probably be the N-15 version. Anyways, credits to Dragonlady for giving me the idea to build this aircraft. He also helped me make this aircraft 1:1 scale in size. Follow him and upvote his builds for great, quality work! I absolutely love the P-47, I think it is just a beast, or, a jug... One interesting thing about the p-47 though, or at least imo, is the large turbocharger located underneath the engine. That's what gives it its famous "jug" look. Without it, it would be a rather normal radial engined aircraft. One thing I would love to see however, is a P-47 without the turbocharger, I think it would be quite interesting. But yeah, I'm quite happy with this, I made it fly as realistically as I could. Still though, it's a ton of fun to fly around! It also comes armed with 8 MGs. So you should enjoy blasting enemies out of the sky, or on the ground.

    Well for me it isn't too bad. It's the curving the insignia around the body that's horrible.@KnightOfRen

    But they would have stuck up with the angle.

    Well the dihedral doesn't matter. I'm sure I could've done something. I just use chichiwerx's usaf insignia pack for all of my airplanes.@KnightOfRen

    Ya you're right the stars and bars would be nearly impossible with that huge dihedral.
