I used a Superscale aftermarket decal set, though I made a stencil for the name on the side as there was a lot of clear decal on that part which I always get silvering on. Here is the source of the name:
Origin of the Jaywalkin Molecule
The guy who wrote the (Time magazine) B29 article reported that he was
told by a scientist on the project that when flying at high speed, the
stabs went transonic - which was no small problem for the SuperFort! He
then tried to describe
the effect in simple terms for the readers. Basically, He said the
air molecules hit the stabs and scattered in many directions causing an
unwanted transonic vibration. Moving forward a few months to the
September issue (which Capt.
Lipscomb also read) someone wrote into the magazine and had his letter
published in the readers section. He noted that he read the
original article and was intrigued by the " Jaywalkin' molecules" that the
scientist had described.
He then asked if the magazine artist had any artistic take as to what the
"Jaywalking Molecules" looked like. Below his query was an image of
the artists rendering of a Jaywalkin' Molecule. After seeing this
caricature, the pilot got his tent mate
(Charles Dooney) to help him apply this same image to the cowl of his P-47
and apply the name Jaywalkin' Molecule to the fuselage side.
Now if you see a similarity to the style of artwork and application of the
name to the Turtle series of 509th P-47s and the same type of lettering
down the side of The Molecule, (there were 10 Turtles)
you shouldn’t be surprised by the fact that Dooney was the artist and
pilot for all of the Turtle P-47s.
