Cool to see one of these aircraft being built, I was very tempted by the 1/72 version of this decal sheet as it offers some real opportunities to go a bit mental with the weathering on a wingy-thing.  B)

Well that sucks.....Glad I didn't buy it now.  :rolleyes:

 

This aircraft did become well weathered later in the war and had a Malcom canopy fitted and replacement ailerons. Note how when they over sprayed the invasion stripes they covered most of the yellow stripes on the wings. She does look good in Invasion strips though.

I'm already doing one, but it's all shiny & yellow (one wingy-thing per GB is plenty for me).  :whistle:

I know a P47N  .you can weather one of them but its harder doing it on N/M
