I have decided to buy a P-47 Bubble Top, but I am torn between Eagleston and Snortin' Bull, I really like both paints, but I will only get one.
Can someone provide me with some background to them, which scheme is more accurate, ect., and possibly some photos of Snortin' Bull (Model)?
Thanks, I really appreciate it.

Both paint schemes are very accurate, so it's a toss-up. Check out photos of the original planes in the Profile album (use the website button below)....

Grunt1, I already saw those photos, thanks anyway
I noticed that Snortin' Bull is written on both sides of the plane, is that true on the model?

I hope I didnt annoy anyone yet, but I noticed something...
All the photos I have seen of the XD P-47, have simple disc wheels.
All the photos I have seen of the real P-47, have spokes on the wheels.
Did 21st Century screw up, or was there 2 versions?

All P-47's have spoke wheels.
The disk are like hubcaps.
There are 4 dzus fastners that hold them on.
P-40's are the same.
They can be left off and were late in the war, like on P-40N's
