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 (1,103 kg). When fully loaded, the P-47 weighed up to eight tons, making it one of the heaviest fighters of the war. The P-47 was designed around the powerful Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engine, which was also used by two U.S. Navy/U.S. Marine Corps fighters, the Grumman F6F Hellcat and the Vought F4U Corsair. The Thunderbolt was effective as a short-to medium-range escort fighter in high-altitude air-to-air combat and ground attack in both the European and Pacific theaters. (AG1) for nav lights, (AG2) to drop bombs, (AG3) to unlock tail gear steering. Have fun...

Hi @simplyplain.
I am therealpilot123 and I've used your P-47 for an prototype version and used @Ambs R2800 engine to make some detail.
So..
Do you mind i upload your P-47 to the simplaplane.com?
What a smooth build....
Wow
@SimplyPlain well I genuinely do think you did a very nice job with the shape of the aircraft :). So I wasn't just trying to flatter you for an ulterior motive :)
@DeezDucks Sure, go ahead. Flattery will get you everywhere LOL... it makes a nice pair with your P51, that's for sure. Can't wait to see the P38.
Wow really good job with the body shape and the wings. Would you mind if I potentially use your P-47 in a few screenshots? I'm building a P-38J and I think it'd look really cool to have it, my P-51C and your P-47 all lined up :)
@SimplyPlain Very nice 'bolt! Smooth.
Thanks all for getting me "over the edge" into gold...
very well built
y does mine look dumb now?
this is a GORGEOUS model
Very great Thunderbolt . Great job .
My god this is an exceptionally well built thunderbolt. In all honesty I think it’s probably the best looking one on the website. Fantastic job and I’m looking very forward to seeing even more of your builds
Flaps are inverted
Very sleek! It just amazes me how smooth the fuselage is
Very impressive build coming from someone with 4,600 points. Nice!
