Well look at these things, yes, those are P-47's. These are XP-47H's.
From the USAF website.

Looks like a cross between a P-40 and a P-47.
Just something to look at while we're waiting for the Jug to be released :D

Don't forget the precursors to the P-47:

The SEV-3, first plane produced by Seversky Aircraft (later to become Republic) http://home.att.net/~historyzone/Sev-3.jpg

P-35, canopy reminiscent of the A6M2: http://home.att.net/~historyzone/P-35proto.JPG

and the YP-43, as it's starting to look like a Thunderbolt: http://home.att.net/~historyzone/Yp-43.jpg

ah well, one day I will figure out how to add hyperlinks....

(one day while I'm waiting for the Shockwave P-38! :wink: --lol, it's never enough is it? Make a few quality aircraft and suddenly you have requests for a million more. :P )

Ah ha. Thanks, R. Rooster. I thought I had to do something fancy with the URL tag. :oops:
