Hello :-salut
I present you a model which languished for a very, very long time on my shelves, awaiting markings. Recently, I found the model of P-47D-30 of Revell which proposes a French livery for one... French P-47D-28-RE, thus unsuitable for the version D-30. I thought at once of applying this finish to my languishing model...
At the time that I built this kit I had to put the airscrew to the good diameter (Hasegawa's one is for a P-47D-21... and is consequently too small.)

I added the jacks of the extra landing gear doors for the wheel wells. The sleeves of the machine gun tubes are in pieces of hypodermic needles.
Markings are those of GC 2/5 La Fayette. The badge is the one of SPA 167, the Stork with high wings, said " Stork of Guynemer " which had adopted it in homage to Hispano-Suiza for the engines equipping Spad VIIs.
