This new decal sheet f rom Pyn-Up Decals includes markings for two different 1/32 P-47D's with sexy noseart.The first aircraft is a P-47D-28-RA with the 405 FG/511 FS flown by Lt. Larry A. Kuhl on the Spring of 1945. The paint scheme for this aircraft is overall bare metal with Olive Drab on the top of the fuselage in-front and behind the canopy. The forward ring of the engine cowling is yellow as is the canopy framing. There are red stripes on the tail. The noseart is of a sexy little brunette in a red teddy with white fur trim and with matching Santa hat. She is standing in front of a green background and a chimney. The text beside the artwork reads "Dottie Mae". The serial numbers on the side of the fuselage is K4 S. This aircraft arrived in the European theatre in late 1944 and first went into battle flying close air support on Dec 16 1944. This aircraft flew 90 missions and was the last P-47 lost in the war when it was lost due to pilot error while flying low over a lake in Austria. The full story is in the instruction sheets. The aircraft was recovered from that lake in 2005 and is currently undergoing a restoration to flight status in California. |
