I'm currently gathering references and materials to build a 1/72 P-47D-22 razorback , HD154, '18' that served with 73 OTU, Fayid, Egypt. Were their P-47's flown with the standard USAAF seat harness or were they fitted with the Sutton? I know from my research that they were originally finished in ANA approved colors at the factory, but were repainted with correct RAF paint upon arrival, as their journey as deck cargo played hell with the original finish.

Afternoon All, A bit late for this particular party, but I've decided to weigh in with these two from Tamiya in 1/72. I hummed and hawed about joining in with this STGB as I've a number of other things on the go at the mo and had wanted to concentrate on getting some of them finished, but I've decided a quick hassle free project is just the tonic for an ailing mojo! A quick delve into the stash came up with these two from Tamiya that will be finished as a couple of aircraft from 73 OTU in Fayid, Egypt. This will be finished as a Mk.I in ANA equivalent paints using Freightdog decals. And this one will be finished as a Mk.II, however I'll decide a bit closer to the finish which one I'll be doing. A couple of mask sets to save time as well as some resin and metal details to build upon the rather nice plastic Tamiya have provided. I'll be starting shortly, but since I'm on nights this weekend it probably won't be before Mon/Tues. Regards, Mark.
