72modeler Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I thought all of you Jug fans (and you know who you are!) would find this photo collection of interest; it shows the current status of the P-47D razorback that the Dakota Air Museum is restoring to flight. IIRC, it is an actual Republic-built P-47D, not a Curtiss-built P-47G, as are the other flyable razorback Jug survivors. Note that it will have a functioning turbosupercharger, which is very rare among all the flyable P-47's. The quality of the restoration looks to be top notch- can't wait to see her fly again!

fishplanebeer Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Amazing level of restoration that's being undertaken which makes me wonder how on earth they managed to build these things in volume during WW2! Regards Colin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
