Nigel,

Did you find out what color Lorene's outfit is"? One of the decal sets I own shows blue, the other is brown.

Nigel,

I am glad that you found someone who was definite about the color scheme. I had hoped the dress was blue. I have the PYN UP sheet with Lorene.
Anybody know if they repainted the stenciling in red?
I noted in a color photograph that the P-47M from the 62nd FS had Yellow Stenciling.

Actually good call. I meant the factory stenciling. I wonder about the serial number as well.
I thought it would be a waste of time to put the stenciling back on a machine that was repainted.

Here is a photo of a P-47M of 62FS. Note the yellow stencil on the fuselage.

Gents,
Hope you can help..
I'm doing some preliminary work for the group build.
In the June '07 issue of Model Airplane International there was a build article on the Academy Razorback,
There were Color profiles of Various Razorbacks Two have taken my fancy I'm on the look out for more info pilots history etc..
Both are fitted with Malcolm Hoods.
First:P47 Serial #42-26250 G9-G Turtle No9 509th FS, 405th. FG 9th AF
Second:P47D serial # 42-26261 K4-S. 511 FS,405th FG,9th AF.
I'm googling big time but I figured this is the place to get more info

Thanks in Advance
Cheers

Chris

I would have thought the Plum the site has listed would have caused some head scratching.

If you scroll up this page a bit you'll see extracts from emails Ive recieved from Russ Kyler of the 61st FS 56FG, pilot of P-47 M "Lorene" which IMHO dispels all the rumours and debates of the plum/purple colour of the 61st FS P-47 M's.
So no head scratching from me
If only I could get such a definitive answer regarding the 63rd FS M's.

I got a Tamiya 1:48 P 47 D without dorsal fin Yesterday, and it's Megahugeomungus! I mean, I can stick a Bf 109 fuselage in it, and still have room for the cockpit. I have no idea what to make of it, because I don't want to make a full metal plane. I found a cute little pic on the net, though.


It has checkers, it has D-day stripes, it has colour on the rudder and nobody can tell (until I get the full story of the plane by Nigel ) if it had a grey, blue or NFM belly. That way I can try NMF without it being too visible afterwards.
