  I have been looking on the net but keep drawng a blank



If  u or anyone could send in the right direction i would be greatful

[Guppy35]

Best I can do after digging through my Jug stuff.  Looks like G.C. II/5 was operating in support of ground operations during the Battle of the Bulge etc.

[rogerdee]

thanks for the help dan this is what i got so far

[straffo]

Wait a bit I'm warming the scanner and diffing my books

About your skin , not bad ,but the colour of the roundel are to bright IMO at least you didn't put yellow around

I can't believe it, I've not a single profile of a P47 of the Lafayette !

I'll ask on a French forum, stay tuned

Not to steal the thread, but was the P-47 above destroyed when the museum had a fire in the 80s or 90s (Can't remember when it happened).

[rogerdee]

yes straffo i know the colours are a bt bright and i havent added the yellow,is  just  a rough mock up at the moment which i been putting togeather when i got a few spair minutes  and i wanted to show dan that the help he gives is not wasted.


 It took me ages to find the drivers for my scanner so i could get the indian head on it.

[rogerdee]

heres  a little bit mor on the french p47s tell me what u think please



one of each for our French friend

[Krusty]

I like number 23 better, but only because the roundels stand out nicely against the BMF wings and have left-over bars from the US markings (I think, I don't know if they're standard on French markings)

[Guppy35]

I'm with Krusty on this one.....gotta be a first

23 looks better by far.

[straffo]

23 is better ,the yellow around the roundel is too orange.

heres the latest on the metal p47 the green one is on hold at the moment




what do u think guys hows it looking to u?

[Krusty]

I really like 23. I think NL surprised me at how well it turned out, as well. Is that a war-time or post-war bird? (doesn't look like your average bear, I mean jug). As for AF*R -- it looks good too, but the others steal the show
