Status: offline 		a box arrived in the mail today, it was the stencils and masks including the "hairless Joe" character for the nose from Gary at Get Stencils. Woo Hoo I thought.
Went through all the masks etc.

Problems:

I checked size of the nose emblem, “Hairless Joe” he is on the big side. Have not checked size of stars and bars and other masks. Hoping they are correct.

- Missing - Yellow crew chief & ground crew details just forward of windshield on port side only
- Missing - Kill markings below canopy port side only
- Missing - P47 Nomenclature sheets

Emailed Gary, hope he comes through and fixes the problems for me.

cheers
Peter

Happy landings
