Thanks guys!
Funny you say that, I have always thought the jug was interesting because this "Razor Back" version always looked so funky to me it almost looks like an Axis fighter, but the bubble top version gave it a totally more modern Aliied fighter look in my opinion. The only other Razor back I think I have done was one of the 25 that were shipped to the USSR under lend lease act, the Russians thought they were junk so they were used as top cover over cities far behind the lines.gburch wrote:Very nice work.

It's funny, I kinda used to have the same feeling about the looks of the Jug, in terms of the difference between the razorback and the bubbletop. Over the years, though, a couple of things have changed the way the razorback strikes me. One was becoming more familiar with the original Mustangs, before they got a bubble canopy. I began to see both of the earlier versions more in light of the way they came to look later. And then, when I spent time as a wretched IL-2 addict, I came to love the P-47 as the absolute best of all the allied fighters in that flight sim. (Therein lies much controversy, as there are many who say the IL-2 P-51 flight model isn't nearly as good as it should be.) By the time I finally went through the 12-step program to rid myself of the IL-2 monkey on my back, I'd gotten to the point where I could beat any axis fighter -- set to have the highest pilot skill level -- 1-on-1 in a P-47.Jnewboy wrote:Funny you say that, I have always thought the jug was interesting because this "Razor Back" version always looked so funky to me it almost looks like an Axis fighter, but the bubble top version gave it a totally more modern Aliied fighter look in my opinion.
