Default P-47 documentation Help

Hello. I need help I managed to qualify for the U.S Scale Masters in the Pro Am/Sportsman class. I have a P-47 Razor back that is already done. But I lost the picture of the full scale airplane. Mine has a red and white striped Horizontal stab and elevator and vertical fin and rudder. And Invasion stripes on the lower part of the fuse and wings . The front of the cowl is Red and the nose art is the word Gambler the Tail number is 91750. If anyone has a picture or reference they could get me I would be very thankful
Happy landings

It might help if you can show us a photo of your model.

Also, unless there has been a recent rules change, you don't need a photo of your exact P-47 prototype to compete in the Pro Am/ Sportsman class. All you need is one photo of any P-47D razor back. Remember, your model won't be static judged like the Expert, Team, Advanced classes where full documentation is required. It's up to you as to the amount of "proof" you wish to provide ( in your class ) because the judge only needs one photo as "proof". It's "All-or-Nothing" in the Pro Am/ Sportsman class. You get 25 points whether you provide one picture or ten. If you show no "proof", then you get zero points.

You can also use plastic model box-top artwork or any other published illustrations as your proof.

Congratulations for qualifying and best of luck!

ps; a little friendly advice, make sure you practice your routine in the next couple of weeks. Go through the model thoroughly checking all servo mounts and pushrods, engine & muffler, cowling & canopy screws, wheel collars are tight, retracts & flaps function correctly...etc. Practice flying WITH your caller next to you just like you will at the contest.
Install a new glow/ spark plug & put a couple flights on it before the contest. Equipment problems are much too common at scale contests and shouldn't be if you "rehearse" everything at home in the days leading up to the event. Check all your batteries as well. Equipment failures are the last thing you need to think about while you're flying at the Championships.
....and most of all....remember to have fun!

Here's a couple samples of all that you need for your documentation. Line drawings (3-views) are NOT required for any of the classes. If you want, you can include a 3-view on the backside of your photo. But it's not necessary.
I'm not familiar with the squadron colors of your model as you describe it, but then I'm not an expert on the P-47. The artist rendering is as close as I can find.
Hope this helps.
Ken.
