The Thunderbolt, a renowned WWII aircraft by Republic, features a large Pratt and Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engine for high performance and load capacity. First flown on May 6th, 1941, it was delivered to the US Army Air Corps in June 1942 for use in the European Theater. This aircraft, modeled in cinema4D 9.5, includes alternative equipment options like rocket launchers, droptanks, or M65 bombs. It also comes with detailed bodypaint textures and materials. The zip-file contains a flying and standing version with 25 textures, one material, and an alpha-map. No special plugins are needed to open the scene, and it's render-ready without any cleaning up necessary. This model is available in obj, lwo, fbx formats for file versions 2010, R11, and R16, with specific instructions on loading the run alpha map for the propeller's fly version. The P-47 was famous for its versatility, serving as an escort fighter for B-29 bombers in the Pacific and excelling in ground attack roles across Europe. It featured a 'razorback' fuselage in early versions but later models had a bubble canopy for increased rearward visibility.
