franky boy Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Nice choice Patrice. If if you’re interested there’s a great colour film on the web made by the US Government in 1944 about these p47’s based in Corsica. I stumbled across it a while back. There are a couple good shots of the aircraft that you’re modelling. Link below. It’s about 40 minutes and we’ll worth a look.

James https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Da_gbVd6nzM Good find Franky boy, a nice variety of P-47s with various underwing stores. The runway could have been a tad longer for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
