P-47 Thunderbolt Airplane

Description

This beautiful handcrafted plane is made out of solid mahogany wood made with a wood lathe, hand etched, and sanded and finished with high gloss finish that reveals the rich wood grain. The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was a World War II era fighter aircraft produced by the United States between 1941 and 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 (tonnes) 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 fighters, the Grumman F6F Hellcat and the Vought F4U Corsair.  This model is a Quality piece of wood work for display in any setting. This can be the centerpiece of conversation at your next gathering, or a silent appreciation for any art lover.
