With the range to penetrate deep into enemy territory — where the action is — the P-47 “Jug” became one of the Allies’ greatest assets during WWII. Impressive, IMAA-legal dimensions give Top Flite’s ARF version plenty of room for striking sport-scale realism, along with its easy visibility and flight. Get a piece of the action for yourself. Make this your first — or next — giant-scale warbird!
