This is the 'Jug' flown by Capt. Edward O. Fisher of the 377th. FS, 362nd. FG, in 1944.
The kit was built a few years ago but is still one of my favourites. Build was out of the box with Model Master Metalizer paints & Eagle Strike [...]
This is Academy's rendition of Maj Howard Park's P-47 D in quarter scale. Although not on par with the Hasegawa and Tamiya offerings, it is nonetheless an acceptable replacement that with the necessary TLC builds into a fine P-47 D. The [...]

In March 1945, the 318th became the first fighter group to re-equip with the new P-47N-1 Thunderbolt. Following the invasion of Okinawa, the unit's ground component [...]
Today we have Monogram's T-bolt, the old 80's repop that was in the Revell box. This version was issued at around the turn of the century.( Can't believe I wrote that, I remember reading about the turn of the century 1899-1900,yikes). [...]
