Hi Epsillon,

Another nice one!

Would you be interested in doing a P47M? I spent the last hour or so scratching around the internet and was shocked at how little info there is, much less color photos. Probably explains why only 2 skins were included with the package in the first place. See the 2 pics below. I have half dozen more from a few other angles if you are interested. Can post them here or e-mail them, Just let me know.
Thanks, John

Hi Phil,

This one is very difficult to make because the cowling flaps on the WoP P-47 are very hard to skin.
For example,look at the checkerwork on the Dallas Blonde and look at my job to obtain this result:



Funny,isn't it ?

So i will give a look at the Tarheel Hal but don't be too optimist...

I'll give you some news in a few days.

Thanks Stephan. I see what you mean.
If you can't do it, I don't imagine anyone can. Thanks for trying.

I love all of your repaints.

I have some pictures from in the cockpit at last years airshow of Tarheel. I know some of the CAF here in Houston and they are all a bunch of good guys.

[PhilC]

Wow Stephan, that's not looking bad at all. You ARE da man!

Wip shot number two:



It just needs a few tweaks and the little flag on the tail...

Looking great, I think I have a new favorite P-47. I've seen Lone Star's Tarheel Hal many times, and I always find it fun to fly the FS versions of planes I have actually seen.

Epsillon, you do great work. Thanks for all your efforts. I'm loking forward to this one.

If anyone really wants to see the real thing, get the P-47 DVD from the Roaring Glory series. Tarheel Hal is the P-47 taken for the flgiht in the DVD. I got mine off eBay.
