OK, this one really piqued my curiosity! Note the very unusual blister on the sliding hood that I have never seen before, but the real interesting bit is the small opened panel and linkage/indicator of some sort on the upper surface of the wing, just forward of the wing flap. I don't recall a mechanical flap or landing gear indicator on the P-47. Does anybody know what this might be? It appears like it might be right above where the landing gear strut is mounted. Just curious!
