I voted, but personally I would prefer anything BUT NMF planes. Somehow shiny, metallic planes don't float my boat.... maybe it's got something to do with me being an AFV grunt at heart

Its a safe bet that you didn't vore for the NMF option then
Plenty of camouflaged options available for the P47, and being an "AFV grunt at heart" you should have no problem fading the old Olive Drab.

Plenty of time left to vote and a clear leader emerging already...I wonder why that could be?

Plenty of votes already with a clear early leader.
Keep them coming in and lets make it a great group build 2011!

The voting will conclude at the end of May and the build starts straight away, just needs the required 10 enlistees of course.
It will run until the end of December.

Still plenty of time to vote for the next group build.
Almost half way through the voting with 2 campaigns neck and neck for first place at the moment!
Voting will end at midnight on May 31st ( my time) and the winning campaign will open for enlisting straight afterwards.
Building will start as soon as the campaign has the required 10 enlistees.

Only 6 days of voting left and a clear leader has emerged.

Will "Bolt From The Blue" make a last minute break for the lead?
Will "Pin-Up Jugs" continue to extend its lead?

Will I be running this campaign?

Only one things for sure, the next P-47 Group build will begin on June 1st!

It seems pin up jugs is going to be the next campaign, which is a great thing
Does it have to be "female" nose art or will snorting bulls, indians, brutes etc also be considered glamourous nose art?

Hi Jesper!
Pin-Up Jugs.
Err,,,the clues in the name, coupled with the P-47 nickname used in quite a non politcally correct context.
If you can find a P-47 with artwork consisting of a female snorting bull I'll allow it, just for you, hows that?

One more day to go. I'll end voting tomorrow evening my time and open up the group build for enlistment.

In second place was "Bolt From The Blue" and that will follow Pin-Up Jugs as the P-47 Heaven 2012 Group Build.

Thanks for all the votes everyone and have a great group build.

Well folks the "Pin-Up Jugs" Group build is off and running over on the P-47 SIG site, so please join in, or at least drop by and leave a few words of encouragement for the troops there.

The thread can be found HERE , and the sign-up page is HERE .

Lots of fun to be had, so don't be shy, come take a look !
