P47M Skin Ideas
« on: October 08, 2009, 03:51:53 PM »
After briefly digging around on the internet, I found three pictures that are P47Ms and were exclusively flown by the 56th FG. Enjoy!

Just getting the juices flowing for the skinners!  :aok

Those are actually the only three choices you have as each individual squadron was painted in one of those schemes.

So, other than nose art, I guess there will only be three P-47M skins.

Get to it!!

Just FYI:

The 56th FG were the only unit to fly the P-47M IIRC.

I'd say "Marilyn" (if I spelled that right) is a must-have.

Kazan mentioned he was going to do it in another thread.  You might want to check with him.

Bet we can fill it up, unlike the TA-152.  Of course alot of people spoke up for TA-152 skins over a year ago and so far no one else has done any.   :rolleyes:

Agreed.  I've probably seen more color photos of P-47M's than any other jug.  Not to mention that by this point in the war, the 56th FG was getting tons of press back in the states.  A lot of these aircraft are pretty well documented.  Sure, a lot of them will look similar since there's only 3 basic paint schemes, but, the slots will fill, and fill quickly.
