On those profiles Andy posted, I'd go for the two with nose art! The one with the blue-lightning-bolt tail is especially striking.

Dave- are you converting Marek's Razorback into a Bubbletop?

I assume the "razorback" is the fast-back style canopy on the earlier versions?
and the "bubble" is the later style canopy?
(not including the spine-knife addition to the tail)

I have both versions...and from those, I can modify to suit most of the P-47 models.

You assume correct Dave.

Airdave, Maybe you would consider the all metal colored P-47
that I designed for Lou Dausse. It is PMI #110. It has nose art
on both sides of the fuselage as well as being very colorful. I
did the line drawings and Lou had the coloring done by someone
else. He did not catch the mistake in the coloring on the tail
surfaces which should be red and white stripes. He had already
had 5000 copies printed before I got my first copies and noticed
that the vertical and horizontal stabilizers were red and silver. This
has bothered me and Lou ever since. I think I still have the original
nose art if I can find it on the cd that made back then. If not I
could send you a kit of the model that you could take the nose
art from. Ron

You designed PMI 110!!!! I have two copies of that kit from PMI. One just showed up this week and the other I had before the shop was sold to Mark. I love that kit!. I plan on totally modding it out. It's on my table after I finish the Marek builds. The tail color is wrong and the nose art is pretty humble by standards but still my favorite P-47 kit by far. Kudos on that design!:D

Ron,
In regards to your PM, I would love to see this kit repainted! I know that since it's a printed kit, it's not possible but still, what a great kit it would be in other schemes.

lemme see a pic!

Andy,
I know it is copyrighted but I don't believe it would be illegal
to paint a model with existing color and marking that is
available on the internet. I think the model itself is taboo to
copy or sell but I don't believe the livery is. Maybe we can get
a legal opinion on this. I will try to get some pictures of the
one I have built up that I modified by installing white strips on
the tail surfaces as they should be. Ron
