Hi to everyone, As a matter of fact, I've wanted to build this P-47 years ago, when I first saw this photo. So my decision to start this project today was not difficult. As you can see in the first picture, this is P-47D5 (42-8487) flown by Cpt Walker M. Mahurin 63rd FS, 56th FG Halesworth in March 1944. Well, I started with cockpit as usual. I used Eduard PE cockpit set. Trumpeter s rudder pedal are not suitable for the razorback version. I replaced this part with a Hasegawa part that I did not use in my previous projects To be continued..... -
