P-47D-20-RE S/N 4276436. Modellers notes:
The landing surface is heavy wire mesh, not PSP.
Unlike 8th AF T-Bolts of this period, the original narrow tipped propeller is still fitted.
The belly tank is still in place and is riddled with holes.
The tail-wheel has castored forwards.
Extra, unpainted rear-view mirrors are mounted on the fuselage either side of the windscreen.
D-Day stripes on wing are not of uniform width.
The overall paintwork is almost pristine.
