Skin P-47M F/Lt Witold "Lanny" Lanowski (WIP)

[lyric1]

For what it is worth from the modeling world. Light blue seems to be making sense around the edges? A few of this unit had the same colours around the insignia. Three different planes with the same colour band I think is no coincidence IMHO?

I was digging through my sources last night intending on telling you about the blue, but lyric beat me o it. I have actually built a JugM with that skin.

Looks great. Blue around the stars is perfectly accurate. WTG lyric.

Found something else left out, I think.  There should be Star and Bars on the underside of both wings.  I know the 56th did it on D models.  They looked too much like FW's to trigger happy friendlies.  Every bit helps.

I'm not sure if they continued the practice with the M's.  The decal sheet shows them.

Probably there was only one star.

Even in that profile we are seeing the bottom of the left wing in the side view... with a star and bar, which they left out on the view of the lower wing.

Conventionally it is Left upper and Right lower.  The 56th added the additional, often extra large one to the lower left as well.
