crobinsonh Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I hope someone can help here - I saw a photo of a completed P-47 Thunderbolt with a large cartoon wolf painted on the side. I cannot for the life of me remember where I saw this, what squadron this would be and whether those markings exist in 1/32nd or 1/24th. Any help will be gratefully received as it is driving me mad :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBrown Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Perhaps this... These markings were included in Eduard's release of Hasegawa's 1/32 Thunderbolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBC Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) EagleCals and Montex too. Edited January 3, 2019 by TBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBC Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) I should also add that, while the EagleCals decals are gorgeous, they do not fit the model correctly. Whether anyone cares about such things is an individual choice. The WHOOOOOOOOO is too large a faunt to begin with. I used them so I know. I have the Montex set but haven’t rebuilt the model with them, but checking against extant photos of the aircraft (which are in the EagleCals set) they appear to be sized/proportioned correctly so that the stunning nose art will look proper. The wolf head in the EagleCals set is much nicer though. If you want details with images of the decals applied and notations, PM me. The decals in the Eduard boxing are printed by Cartograf, but I don’t know who did the artwork. Edited January 3, 2019 by TBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairless Joe Decals Ole **** III Not sure what you mean by a "blue" jug but if you're referring to the 63rd FS, 56th FG's P-47M's, neither one of the above sets of markings is appropriate for said P-47M.

Thank you from your feedback Juggernaut, based on the Aces of the Mighty Eight (Scutts, Stanaway, Ospray, 2002) page 115 42-26641 is said to be D-25 Dec 1944 and on page 117 42-28383 is said to be D-26, June 1944. rgds yrjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ykak Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) and yes, you are right. Blue ones are M's and the ones I meant are they are probably bluegray (RAF Ocean gray???) + green. Edited February 9, 2021 by ykak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
