Awesome! I did the later 'bubbletop' version of 'Fat Cat' a few years ago! 

Great job on the NM finish!

I like those markings, are they aftermarket?  Nice job all around.

I can only hope I can make the two Revell kits i have in my stash look anywhere as good as these P47's you keep producing, Johnny. 

Really beautiful work, bud.  :)

I'm really impressed with the NMF. You've used several shades on different panels and it looks really good. Of course you've also done a fine job on the construction of the kit as well.

Beautiful job all around on your excellent P-47. Next to yours mine looks kinda shabby.

I love the decal choice too
