Just in case you didn't know...
this first "new" P-47 is based on 44-32691, on display at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.
I got an up close and personal look at this plane, so I thought it would be a great idea.
The aircraft, from what I have read, was repainted by Republic Aviation for the Museum
to honour the 50th anniversary of the Thunderbolt.
Paint scheme features oversized markings, cowling graphics, and d-day style striping.
My model (shown) has a few errors that will be corrected in the final version.
Even though I am test building a final time, I am still tweaking the model that wil go into the shops.
