Here is the P47 D “ELSIE” stationed in England belonging to the 404
Fighter Group during the later part of the war before and after D-Day. The missions where mainly interdiction missions and ground targets of opportunity in France.

The build went fine as usual with
Tamiya kits. The cockpit is a beauty and the control panel decal sinks into place magnificently using
Solvaset and Sol.
I painted the aircraft with Valejo aluminium, acrylic burnt umber was applied to the panels only.
The decals are by
Aeromaster.
NB: the real Elsie had a black antiglare cowling
and was flown by the squadron leader.
