Are the decals and camo scheme from an actual plane or just your imagination?

Everything came in the kit.

It's a P-47 from an OTU based in Egypt, to train pilots going in the CBT.

Hi Olivier. Like the effect your lungs have on your spinning prop. Nice model, interesting scheme. Since we don't have the lungs for a continuous spinning prop. I guess we have to opt for simulated spinning props made from plastic discs, like on my T-Bolts or go with an electric motor that come in some Tamiya kits. I wonder if those Tamiya kits wobble a bit when the motor is on? I have 2 of those kits in my stash that I got real cheap. Don't know when I'll build them thouhg, Wingman out.
