This new decal
sheet from Cutting Edge
Modelworks includes markings for two different 1/48 P-47 Thunderbolts.
The first aircraft is a P-47D-5-RE
flown by Major Henry B. Kucheman from Steeple Morden, England in late
1943. This aircraft was with the 355 FG/354 FS. The paint scheme is
olive green on top and grey on the underside. There is white script on the
side of the engine cowling that reads "Lil Lo" and in front of that is
a sexy nude angel with wings and the red script that reads "MissBehave"
on the forward part of the engine cowling. The forward engine cowling ring
is white. The
artwork for this aircraft has a white decal to go underneath the noseart decal.
There are a variety of extra squadron code decals included that are slightly
different due to the tricky business of getting completely clear photos of the
squadron codes on the real plane. There is a white horizontal stripe on
each side of the rudder and white stripes on the top of the horizontal flying
surfaces of the tail. This plane has many mission markings.
