The
second plane is a P-47D-1-RE "Hairless Joe/Hewlett-Woodmere Long
Island" "LM
S" was flown by Maj David Schilling with 56 FG, 62 FS out of
Halesworth, England, Fall 1943. The paint scheme
for this aircraft is an olive drab scheme with olive drab on top and grey
on the underside. The
tail has a white horizontal stripe. The nose art is a tough
looking hill-billy character crrying a medieval
battle weapon. There is also white text
further back on the fuselage that reads "Hewlett-Woodmere
Long Island".
The
artwork for this aircraft has a white decal to go underneath the noseart decal.
The noseart decals are delicate and two are included
for each plane in case
you mess up the first ones. Exacting
instructions are included on how to prepare and install these decals…..read
these instructions carefully to avoid disaster. Apparently these noseart decals are very thin and need
special care, but once installed they will look very accurate and realistic.
The nose art decals are printed on a one piece decal sheet, so you’ll
need to cut the decal free from the rest of the decal film…..patience is the
key here. The noseart decal is
beautifully printed with fantastic detail and lovely shading.
