Thanks for the kind words guys.

WRT the upper wing insignia, I found this 3 view which shows the larger insignia on the upper wing of Chow Hound, but not Fat Cat. I've also seen a photo of a similar P-47 with a large upper insignia, which I can't find at the moment. I suppose friendly fire from higher Allied aircraft was probably as much of a threat than the LW was by 1945. Particularly to a specialist ground attack outfit like the 509th.

All the wartime colour pictures of P-47s I have seen show yellow interior paint, except in the cockpit. Airshow aircraft tend to be green inside, but I guess that's some sort of FAA certification issue.

Of course anyone who knows me realizes I know as much about A/C as I do the space shuttle.
We have a P47 in the game already, what is diff about the one pictured and the one in game?
They look the same to me:confused:

The P-47s are being updated to AH2 standards, as are the P-51s.

That was my only gripe as well. It doesn't need to be so angular, does it? It really stuck out like a sore thumb to me.

As I understand it, the wartime specs called for "nonreflective" interior finishes.

All aircraft deemed 'airworthy' by the FAA at the time of their release to the civilain world were probably as they were flown. I would expect this condition, pigment and finish, to be maintained by the owners to keep the proper historical condition.

Ah man... I was going to fly up to watch the Reds play the Sox in June but I can't do it that week so probably not until fall.
