A P-47D is the subject of a new Dragon Warbirds release. The finely crafted
miniature from Warbirds is a P-47D Razorback version, so-called for the sharp
ridge on the upper fuselage behind the pilot’s canopy. The model depicts a P-47D
of the 47th Fighter Squadron, which was activated on December 1, 1940 and was
initially based in Hawaii. The model bears the colorful logo of “the Turnip
Termites” squadron, and the plane is finished in a predominantly silver color.
The squadron was credited with shooting down eight Japanese aircraft during
the infamous Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, while it also
went on to serve in other theaters of combat. Interestingly, the 47th Tactical
Fighter Squadron is still in existence today flying the A-10 Warthog. This is
a spectacular model, and it is enhanced by an authentic-looking scenic base
that comes with the scale aircraft model. The diorama shows a section of airfield
that is beautifully textured and painted in a most realistic fashion.
