This particular decal
sheet from Cutting Edge is for three different P-47s, two Razorback Ds
and one bubble top D (for Tamiya and Hasegawa kits only.)
The first P-47D is "Eileen" flown by Lt. Frank Oiler from the Duxford
based 78th FS. It has the famous checkerboard cowl and is painted in
British colours. Cutting Edge recommends the use of British Dark Green
over British Sky, but they admit that there is some doubt over the actual
colours of this particular Jug.
The other two
markings are for P-47s Razorbacks of the famous 56th FG. Both are
painted in USAAF standard Olive Drab over Neutral Grey and have the front
of the cowl painted in red.
The first of the 56th FG Jugs is for a P-47D-15 flown by Samuel Stamps
which has a pinup on the port side of the cowl. Cutting Edge split the
pinup into two decals, the yellow orange stamp and the girl.
The second 56th FG Jug is for Group Leader 'Hub' Zemke. The Decal Sheets
states that this notable Jug was the one he used to get his 10th kill.
It is also the same plane he flew when he encountered Luftwaffe Experten
Gunther Rall and nearly became one of Rall's 275 victims.
The decals are what you expect for an aftermarket set: very thin and the
clear borders are almost non existent. The detail is very sharp and
within register. A set of stencils and a location diagram are provided
if you do not want to use the Tamiya or
Hasegawa stencils.
