I built this as part of the p47 gb last year, I don't think you'll find a photo of the lady with bombs patrice, she was a bomber escort, and fighter primarily, I hope I'm wrong, I'd love to see the silver lady built again. Still there are plenty of pictures of it in stripes, but it changed to a malcolm hood canopy in the October 44 I believe Some info https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=47431.0 Edited June 3, 2019 by Hewy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 There's a picture of her in full stripes in this link; https://ipms-mckinstry.org/ Also helpful for how to do the stripes. Hope this is helpful. Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) No problem patrice, all the best, it was actually August, the silver lady was fitted with the malcolm hood, that's when she had half fuselage dday stripes, you'll need full stripes with the standard canopy , although I did think about trying to use a malcolm hood from a p51 B kit, it was the with the malcolm hood version witold lanowski achieved most of his kills apparently it was a well shared aircraft with many aces flying in her, and scoring some of they're kills, I look forward to it, @modelling minion, hi Craig I do remember that the silver lady had non standard wing stripes, being more out board than other striped p47s, your link reminded me Here's another link, you may find usefull https://www.pwm.org.pl/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=83652 https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=47431.0 Edited June 3, 2019 by Hewy 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
