Tamiya 1/48 P-47D-5 Index Page



There are almost as many stencil markings in this kit as some jets.    They are hard to see in the OD areas until you get up very close.  The markings are for Bud Mahurin's airplane. 
I chose to do this airplane after reading his biography, "Honest John: The Autobiography of Walker M. Mahurin".   Mahurin was the only Air Force pilot to have shot
down enemy aircraft in both the European and Pacific Theatres as well as in the Korean War.
