Competition, a bit of fun!?

[planecrazy]

Thought I’d create a bit of fun and share the love with the other Warbird nuts out there.
I’m in the process of converting my remote control Thunderbolt from a razorback to the
later bubble canopy version. Was looking at colour schemes and there are many out there!



I have a scheme in mind so I’ve come up with a bit of a comp to see firstly if someone
can guess what scheme I have in mind, have the decals already so I won’t be changing
my mind on you all. Also second comp what is the most unusual scheme out there for
the P47 Thunderbolt.



The winners gets a copy of a DVD that I made in 2008, the Warbirds and Classics that
have visited Lord Howe Island in the time I have lived here. Sorry the format is PAL so
you will have to have a player that works this format. Will include postage to your home,
you will have to pm me your address.

Features quite a few Kiwi birds, Sea Fury, Zero replica, Grumman Avenger, Beech Staggerwing,
Douglas Dakota, Grumman Albatross, A37 Dragonfly and much more.

I already have the DVD, so maybe I should not offer my guess in case it is correct

[planecrazy]

Have a stab Dave, I just won't say if you are correct or not!

[Dave Homewood]

OK, I was going to say the Luftwaffe one with the yellow tail?

[planecrazy]

I like the look of that one and something different but no cigar I'm sorry.

there was an RAF one at an OTU in Egypt which was black all over with a big red lightning bolt down the side....

[planecrazy]

Yes the Canterbury Crusaders Thunderbolt, thought about that
one too already have a RAF Thunderbolt so not this one either.




This one of the more unusual schemes for sure, why was this chosen, the CO's
aeroplane perhaps, also seams unusual to have an all black paint job in Egypt
where it's really hot?

PS A bit of an edit seems there is some conversation if she had a red or silver lightning bolt?

If it is 'different' military schemes that you are seeking, then perhaps the (Royal?) Iranian Air Force P47N's would be in that category?

Just a thought...

So the Reno Racer Shell sponsored entry I am guessing, hadn't seen that one!

Anything goes I guess, I just thought I'd come up with something to get people to comment to
see what else is out there, as your comment has pointed out I never knew the Iranian's had P47s!

Brazilian Air Force??
