Title: P47Ms done as Ns?
Post by: Krusty on January 17, 2006, 06:43:22 PM

What are the odds? Seems there are very few N's available to skin, so maybe doing some M's might be allowed?

Very remote chanc e...

The P-47M has rounded wingtips,

The P-47M was strictly used as interceptors, you dont wanna see them carry A2G weapons right? :)

P-47M and N are verry different.  P-47M was just a P-47D-27-RE fitted with Pratt & Whitney R-2800-57(C) to produce 2800 hp.  P-47N is all new,  more fuel load, squared wingtips, and much heavier than P-47M

D'oh.

Guess we're stuck with only a few "N" skins then.
