Default Repaint of FMS 1500mm P-47 to a 56th FG paint scheme

Hi All: haven't been here for a long time. I recently bought a FMS 1500mm P-47D razorback that I totally repainted to an authentic livery flown by a Lt. Albert Knafelz of the 56th FG out of England in WWII. It was a fun little project, a lot going on with all the colors it had, including full invasion stripes. Flies great, looks great in the air.

Actual aircraft taken in 1944. The plane was heavily battle damaged and crash landed back at base in England. The pilot survived but the plane was a write off and scrapped.

Travail très impressionnant, j’ai choisi le schéma ''Miss Behave'' pour le mien. Et j’ai masqué la mousse sur les trous du moteur avec simplement une image web des cylindres du moteur et j’ai mis de la peinture sur les faux cylindres. L’impression finale n’est pas si mauvaise. J’ai également ouvert le cockpit et ajouté un ''Warbird pilot'' USA, changé pour une helice du Corsair de 1,7 m, et enfin, rebuiter le tableau de bord... SOme nomanclature à ajouter et ce sera ok.elice
Merci Callie Graphics pour les décalcomanies..!
