I hate to show work in progress but I don't have any info for the port side of the bird. Maybe someone with better research materials might have a picture. Also, to help fill Guppy35's vision of having different models from the same squadrons in the same time period, I'm looking to do a razorback from the 66th FS. If anyone has some pictures of razorbacks from the 66th, please post them. Thanks.

I know a few resources...
Can you point me in the right direction though? Specifically, which Air-force (8th,9th,13th etc), and which fighter group?
Let us know and we'll (The Ace's High community) will go to work for ya-

You probably know much more than I do about the proper P47 colors, but the yellow's a tad bright.
I like the nose art, though, and the combination of red and yellow details is eye-catching!

Best I can do so far on a Razorback 66th FS Jug. From the 57th FG History edited by Wayne Dodds.
Both images are of Aircraft #74. I don't know the serial number sad to say. Pilot and Crew Cheif's names are evident from the images. It clearly went from an OD canopy frame and no nose art, to a silver frame and "War Weary". Nose markings, wing markings etc would have been the same as the silver birds.
The red goes all the way round the cowl btw. It would most definately be nice to see a mixed formation of 66th Jugs up
