Good morning Patrice.

Lovely project choice, not often we get to see the P-47 in French markings, you're off to a good start as well :)

Good afternoon

 During the week end I placed the "bathtube" in the right haf fuselage and then I glued the 2 fuselage halves together

I also glued the wings and placed the Quickboost parts
