Republic P-47D 'Bubbletop' 62nd FS 56th FG


Recommended Posts

My 3rd kit finished after returning to this relaxing hobby

 

This was my entry in the P-47 STGB WIP Thread can be found  here :

 

 

Following my theme of US bases in Essex during WW2 , The 56th Fighter Group was based at RAF Boxted (4 miles from Colchester) from April 1944 through to the end of the war.

This plane is Col David Schilling's  P-47D-25-RA ( LM - S 226641) ,he received this aircraft in mid July 1944 .

 

Comments and advice always welcome. ( I need to improve my photos ;) )
