Yeee-haaawww!! :) Now we're talking.. a Razorback and 3 Bubbles.. :) I have to agree with UKscalemodeller, you are a BRAVE man to tackle four in one go, but it does make sense.. :)

I'm especially looking forward to seeing the Boxted Jugs as I live close to the airfield, but they will ALL be great I'm sure!!

The 'Big Ass Bird' was the first P-47 D to use the underwing 'Holy Moses' rockets in action, so if you have rockets as an option you can quite happily add them to the model.. :)
