Republic P-47D Thunderbolt
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.
Here it is, the P-47D!
This isn't a specific P-47, but if it would be, it would probably be the N-15 version. Anyways, credits to Dragonlady for giving me the idea to build this aircraft. He also helped me make this aircraft 1:1 scale in size. Follow him and upvote his builds for great, quality work! I absolutely love the P-47, I think it is just a beast, or, a jug... One interesting thing about the p-47 though, or at least imo, is the large turbocharger located underneath the engine. That's what gives it its famous "jug" look. Without it, it would be a rather normal radial engined aircraft. One thing I would love to see however, is a P-47 without the turbocharger, I think it would be quite interesting. But yeah, I'm quite happy with this, I made it fly as realistically as I could. Still though, it's a ton of fun to fly around! It also comes armed with 8 MGs. So you should enjoy blasting enemies out of the sky, or on the ground.

@Hedero ok
You can make any colorscheme changes you want, just be sure to credit me for the build. @CaptaincarrocaBR
can I make a painting of the Brazilian 1GavCA squadron and post it on the website?
@KnightOfRen
thicc
@ACEPILOT109 @rexrexThezion
I'm sending a missile to you now. Do not question the beautifully thicc 47.
Way worse lol@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
That's probably even worse.
Well for me it isn't too bad. It's the curving the insignia around the body that's horrible.@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
That sounds like a pain in the butt.
No I would've angled the insignia@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
But they would have stuck up with the angle.
Well the dihedral doesn't matter. I'm sure I could've done something. I just use chichiwerx's usaf insignia pack for all of my airplanes.@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
Ya you're right the stars and bars would be nearly impossible with that huge dihedral.
Lol I'm glad you think so@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
This is pretty much state-of the art. Perfection.
If I do another thunderbolt but I really doubt it.@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
Next time!!!!
Thanks. I wish I did the stars and bars though :c@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
It flies nicely, and it's very pretty to look at. :)
Thanks dude!@KnightOfRen
One of the classics of classics. This representation looks fantastic, as always! @Hedero
Lol@switdog08
@Hedero
I doubt that
Yeah, or I just completely screw it up lol.@switdog08
