Here is my latest P-47 Thunderbolt Bubbletop. The Devastatin' Deb. flown by Capt. John C Fahringer, Lima, OH. 63rd Fighter Squadron. P-47M 44-21160 UN-F "Devastatin' Deb". Capt. Fahringer was flying this a/c when he downed an Me262 on 5 April 1945. Earlier, on 25 March 1945, Maj. George E Bostwick downed one Me262 and damaged another whilst flying this same a/c.

This custom painted plane started life as a 21C Eileen bubbletop and has been completely repainted to resemble this historic warbird! I think it's very cool to have a P-47 Thunderbolt that was a Me-262 killer! All markings are painted using the vinyl stencil method, there is a slight weathering to panel lines and everything is sealed with a nice flat clear coat for realism and durability.

I am selling this model today if anyone is interested. I would would love to keep her, but I just had to make room for an F-16, F-18, and half a dozen WWII birds that are all going to be repaints themselves over the next few months. Everything is complete and in perfect working condition, I think I still have to box to ship it in. (not 100%). Comes with my TKO certificate of authenticity as a custom painted aircraft.

Price is $240 PM me if you are interested first person to speak up gets her. Otherwise enjoy the pics...

Yeah I can include the shipping on this bird! She needs a good home, I just finished this one a month ago and barely had a chance to enjoy her. ;) PM me if you are interested and we can work out the pay pal thing. I will ship it out on Friday FedEx Ground. tracking number and insured for good measures.

Well chivalry isn't dead! Dragon graciously said he would step aside and let Vulgar Vulture snag this one. ;) True gentlemen on this forum today!

Beautiful plane and something that I am sure vulgarvulture will be happy with.
I see the P-47D Bubble canopy 1/18's are going for high prices so the cost of this one with the great paint scheme is very reasonable.
