Custom Christmas Ornament
Custom Made 1/200th(approx) Scale - RARE!
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.
The P-47 was one of the main United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) fighters of
World War II, and also served with other Allied air forces, including those of
France, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union. Mexican and Brazilian
squadrons fighting alongside the USAAF also flew the P-47.
The armored cockpit was relatively roomy and comfortable and the bubble canopy
introduced on the P-47D offered good visibility. A present-day U.S.
ground-attack aircraft, the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, takes its
name from the P-47.
This is such a cool replica of this prolific fighting machine! Complete with
period accurate coloring and graphics - this is going to be a wonderful
conversation piece hanging from your tree! Don't miss out - Quantities are
EXTREMELY limited!
WARNING! Beware of others selling similar ornaments - who's pictures are
taken without the ornament actually hanging! *Each of my custom ornaments is
made with acute attention to detail, and each is designed to hang as horizontal
as possible for the best display on your tree! - I also use custom ordered
parts that are designed to blend in, and not detract from the ornament itself!
some use large bulky eye screws that are way to big for these ornaments.) **I
also have multiple HD pictures from ALL angles, don't take a chance for any
surprises with just a single (many times blurry / out of focus) picture!
This ornament will come complete with a Deluxe ornament hanger similar to the
one pictured!
