Republic P-47M Thunderbolt

Republic P-47M Thunderbolt Republic P-47M Thunderbolt

Die P-47 Thunderbolt war ursprünglich als leichter Abfang -

jäger geplant worden, ging jedoch als das schwerste einmoto-

rige Jagdflugzeug der Alliierten im zweiten Weltkrieg in

Produktion. Bei den ersten Versionen lief der hintere Rumpf

oben scharf zu, wandelte sich jedoch bereits bis Produktions -

halbzeit der insgesamt 12.603 hergestellten P-47D-Maschinen

zu einem flachen Rumpf mit „Blasenhaube“. Diese Flugzeuge

dienten auf den europäischen und pazifischen Kriegsschau -

plätzen in USAAF-Geschwadern als Begleitjäger der Bomber -

staffeln und erfüllten Erdkampfaufgaben. Auf der P47-D

beruhte die ursprünglich zum Abfangen der als „fliegende

Bombe“ bezeichneten V-1 konzipierte P-47M, die mit Brems -

klappen unter den Tragflächen und einem 2800PS-starken R-

2800-Doppelsternmotor mit Turbolader ausgerüstet war. Alle

130 P-47Ms waren beim 56. Jagdgeschwader in Boxted, Essex

stationiert. Die meisten anderen Thunderbolts hatten bereits

der P-51 Mustang weichen müssen. Die drei Staffeln des 56.

Geschwaders versahen ihre Maschinen jeweils mit unterschied-

lichen Tarnanstrichen. Trotz anfänglicher Motorenprobleme

(zum Teil verursacht durch extremes Tuning) zerstörten sie im

letzten Kriegsmonat vier Me262-Jäger der Luftwaffe. Weiter

verbesserte P-47N Thunderbolts dienten in Einheiten der US

Air Nationalgarde bis 1955. Zahl reiche P-47Ds aus Überbestän-

den wurden nach dem Krieg an Luftstreitkräfte kleinerer

Länder verkauft. Der 2.800 PS starke R-2800-57(C)-Motor ver-

lieh der Maschine eine Höchst ge schwindigkeit von 761 km/h in

9.900 m Höhe. Flügelspann weite: 12,42 m. Länge: 11,02 m.

The P-47 Thunderbolt was originally planned to be a light-

weight fighter but entered production as the heaviest single-

engined allied fighter of the Second World War. The early ver-

sions had a high “razor back” rear fuselage which was changed

to a low back and “bubble” canopy just over half way through

the P-47D production which totalled 12,603 aircraft. These air-

craft served with USAAF Fighter Groups in the European and

Pacific theatres flying bomber escort and ground attack mis-

sions. Initially designed to counter the V-1 “flying bomb” men-

ace, the P-47M was a P-47D airframe fitted with airbrakes

under the wings and a 2800hp R-2800 engine incorporating

an improved turbo-supercharger. All 130 P-47Ms were used by

the 56 Fighter Group based at Boxted, Essex, most other

Thunderbolt units having already converted to the P-51

Mustang. The three Squadrons in the 56th each painted their

aircraft with different camouflage schemes and despite early

engine problems (due in part to the high level of tuning)

destroyed 4 Luftwaffe Me262 jets in the last month of the

war. Further improved P-47N Thunderbolts continued to serve

in US Air National Guard units until 1955 and many surplus P-

47Ds were sold to several small air forces after the war. The

2,800hp R-2800-57(C) engine gave a maximum speed of

761km/h (473mph) at 9,900m (32,500ft). Wingspan: 12.42m

(40ft 9in.) Length: 11.02m (36ft 2in.)

Should I paint my Revell model before or after it is built? Verified

Revell recommends painting it before building it. In some cases it is smart to partially assemble pieces if they all need to be painted in the same colour.
