My apologies to Lair for the long delay in completing this custom.
This was my first experience with his decals and I am quite impressed. They're thick enough to be durable coming off of the sheet, yet laid down really well even without Microsol. I highly recommend his goods and hope to call upon him again in the future.
Now for the bird.
Herschel 'Herky' Green's P-47.
Enjoy.
It's not quite done as the local hobby shop was out of spray on dullcote. I hope to find some at another shop tomorrow afternoon and will post another couple of photos of the completed project.

Actually, it may take a little longer than expected. I just realized I placed the kill markings and crew list placard incorrectly.
You have IM.

Well, that's what I get for not having my reference photo right in front of me.

As per your tip, I expect to have things corrected this evening and the plane finished up tomorrow afternoon.
Thank you very much.
P.S. As for the photos, would you prefer to copy the small images from here or would you like the large images emailed directly?

Will do, and I'll try and find a better setting than my fiancee's room.

Thanks guys. Having worked a 12 hour shift yesterday, I couldn't find the motivation last night to fix things up. Today is only 8, so I hope to have things rearranged and dullcoted this afternoon.
