Description: Easy Model Platinum Collection 39307 Republic P-47D Thunderbolt Display Model USAAF 56th FG, 62nd FS, #42-26628 Rozzie Geth II/Miss Fire, Fred Christensen 1:48 Scale Length WidthRepublic P-47D Thunderbolt 9" 10.25" Fred J "Chris" Christensen Jr. ended the war with 21.5 kills and flew 107 missions. He is currently the highest scoring living U.S. Ace. While flying P-47D 42-26628 LM-C "Miss Fire" / "Rozzie Geth II" he became famous for downing six enemy in one encounter. Republic P-47D Thunderbolt Designed by Alexander Kartveli meeting a USAAC requirement for a heavy fighter, the P-47 was first flown on May 6th, 1941. Later models featured a "bubble-top" canopy rather than the sharply peaked "razorback" fuselage which resulted in poor visibility for the aircraft's pilot. The P-47, a deadly pursuit aircraft, featured 8 x 12.7mm machine guns; all mounted in the wings. Even with the complicated turbosupercharger system, the sturdy airframe and tough radial engine, the P-47 ("Jug" or "Juggernaut" as it was nicknamed) could absorb damage and still return home. Built in greater quantities than any other US fighter, the P-47 was the heaviest single-engine WWII fighter and the first piston-powered fighter to exceed 500 mph.
