Some P47N skin possibilities.

[lyric1]

Can we get a Russian lend lease skin please......

I don't think the Russians had P47N's?

[kilo2]

I have looked around and got some different answers. I know they had D models for sure.

I edited the picture & noticed the plane is called KINKY Maybe even the individual letters match in colour as they all seem to be different. This plane may suit a lot of AHII players?

Not unless there's a picture below the text depicting a sheep of some sort.....

Sorry Krusty no live stock pictures on that plane.

I'd love to see someone re do Red E Ruth.

Got any suggestions on what you'd like improved?

That is never a good idea to ask publically with this crowd.

Where will Krusty go with it?








Well maybe he could update the spinner & the updated blue instead of white writing?




Or maybe he should just change it's squadron?

It needs footprints.

Any one who is thinking of doing a 1ST F/S aircraft you may want to hold off I was given a lead to a book that has what may be slight variations on the two pictures I posted & potentially more interesting & maybe more colourful. I placed the order for the book & should be here in the next few days.

Not exactly a hijack, since this IS a thread about P-47Ns....

So the main complaint is just minor details? Whew... Here I was thinking it was a critique of my BMF or something

Well at the time I had limited resources, no pictures of the wartime thing. However, every profile I've ever seen of it has a blue hub on the prop. I have no idea what's up with that spiral prop hub. You note in the first photos the name is very pale blue or faded white, not blue/black as in the spiral-hubbed picture.

What is that? Post war "warbird"?

Also, I have no idea what the frak is up with that last picture. Totally different tail code, not the same plane at all. Photoshop? Or perhaps some other plane before Red-E-Ruth with the same nose-artist?

Just saying, I'm open to these little facts being brought up for correction, but going by the first 2 pics I'm pretty close to the real thing, right?

EDIT: P.S. Thanks for the warning lyric. I can't thank you enough for posting these. Let me know if you find any other info, especially any better shots of the round badge/emblem on the starboard side below the canopy (and/or the port side, so I know if it goes there, too!)

EDIT: I will fix a few quirks on Red-E-Ruth that bug me while I work on the 1st F/S skin, just FYI. Will post screenshots for feedback at that time, in separate threads.

I was totally kidding on RED E RUTH I was having a bit of fun with the numbers guy. I thought that it was that obvious I didn't put in enough smiley faces I guess I thought you would have seen the joke since I sent you the painted spinner picture ages ago. I am sorry did not mean to get you upset. The last photo is not a photo shop it was a pilot who liked the nose art & put it on his plane not that uncommon I have seen that happen in the same squadron before.

Here is a picture from a link Greebo sent me that makes reference of a book I ordered tonight. It seems the first squadron was not around long but had a few paint schemes going at the same time.

When it gets here I will fill you in.




The profile is not correct in terms of the black line width but you can see in the photo
the planes in the back ground have black rudders & blue beyond the rudders up to the line & the first plane has a all blue tail.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here, can you re-phrase that?

Black rudders, I follow, but the "blue beyond the rudders up to the line" I don't follow. The planes with black rudders don't appear to have any blue. Unless you're referring to the black-tailed planes first, then referring to the blue-tailed planes second, in the same sentence?

 The two aircraft in the back ground have been painted slightly differant than the first aircraft you decided to skin based off this profile I found in another book I have. The bare metal with black rudder & cowling & wing tips was the first & older style the squadron had.




Then they started to change the paint work the two aircraft in the back ground have a combination of this profile. Black rudder & blue stabilizers all the way to the thin black line just before the white bar of the US insignia on the fuselage.

The closest plane AY has the blue tail & maybe the diamond? can't quite tell.
No black line black wing tips & black engine cowling or you could say another aircraft in transition to the later profile?


The blue tail portion I am referring too is coming from this thread http://forum.armyairforces.com/tm.aspx?high=&m=83565&mpage=1#83788 & this is where I got the information for the book I ordered.
