Since Jennings posted his profiles of some navalized P-47s a while back I've been considering such a project.  So, here's what I had in mind ... a drone controller/target tug version in the bright color schemes they used (USN) ... either dark gray or sea blue fuselage with yellow wings and horizontal tails, red stripes on wings, yellow and red tails, etc.  And, my first attempt at some color profiles to help me decide how to go.  The first is the sea blue fuselage version.  It's not complete but gives the idea.  The gray fuselage version needs just a bit more  work before posting.  (I certainly appreciate the work that some of you put into your art now   :wacko:  )

 comments welcome

Decided to toss the gray one up anyway.  The gray should be somewhat darker but just haven't matched it up properly yet, but you get the idea.

I would like to see a naval P47 in a hellcat paintscheme, possibly a swap of paintscheme.

And again, not finished, but getting closer ...
and finally finished the top view with some minor variations ... just to get a feel for some color combos ...

One new possibility would be an FR-3 assigned to NAS South Park with the typical orange fuselage bands, and appropriate pilot and nose art ...

and it's finished  ... may just give this one a try with plastic ...

Well, I finished the gray one so here it is.  I'm not completely happy with the main gray color but it's done at this point.
 So now, if I can find some white lettering, I plan to try the South Park one and either of the other two ... still trying to decide.

thanks for looking
