Captain"bud" Mahurin shot down a total of 19.75 aircraft during his career with the 56th fighter group.  Nicknamed "the wolf pack", the 56th finished the war as the most successfull group in the ETO (european theater of operation). The 56th was also the only group in the 8th air force to remain equipped with the P-47 until the end of the war.

 Except for the eduard seat belts, the kit was build from the box. For me it's the best kit Tamiya has never made. If you don't have a p-47D in your collection, quick go and buy this kit !!!
