Awesome picture Chad. Funny enough, I was up close and personal with a radial engine from a hellcat today. Yes I knew how large the plane is, but until it is sitting right infront of you ........ Man that power plant it is just GARGANTUAN in every way. Weight and size was impressive to say the least. Just trying to lift a piston... I am truly humbled today.
Yep, she's a big girl no doubt. In fact the Hellcat is larger in most respects than the P-47. I guess the Jug get the "biggest single engine fighter" title because of its higher weight rather than its physical size.

Chad, Linking to photobucket may well need to be the ''wave of the future''. A few extra steps , but at least if we post something that may be of reference value to our fellow modelers it won't suddenly go poof!
The only down side to P-bucket frets is the slow loading times for those folks still running slower machines since it loads the full photo rather than a thumbnail. I don't think that's a big issue for most people though. I guess that sometimes the P-bucket photos are blocked from being viewed by folks who may be browsing at work too which can be inconvenient. Still, it's better than no pictures at all!
