Tamiya 1/48 Republic P-47D Thunderbolt Bubbletop and 1/4 Ton 4x4 Kit

The Tamiya 1/48 Republic P-47D Thunderbolt Bubbletop & 1/4 ton 4x4 Light Vehicle Set is aimed at scale modellers and military history followers who appreciate combined subjects. The package includes the P-47D fighter-bomber plus a U.S. 1/4-ton 4x4 light vehicle, each offering accurate shaping and assembly detail.

Service history and modelling interest

After the XP-47B flew in May 1941, the P-47 series went on to be a prominent wartime aircraft, with the P-47D "Bubbletop" serving as a rugged fighter-bomber. This kit reflects that heritage through parts such as separate flaps, selectable props, and ordnance mounting points.

The quarter-ton 4x4 light vehicle was ubiquitous in U.S. service, with production numbers above 600,000. The kit portrays its compact frame and reliable mechanical layout for accurate modelling.

Construction notes and display potential

Builders get a seated pilot figure and two marking choices for the Thunderbolt, plus decals for the light vehicle to depict U.S. Army markings. These inclusions make it straightforward to prepare finished displays or diorama pairings.
