Nice work. When torno releases it I may fly it for a bit.

wouldn't an OTU be using the Birdcage version, and leaving the newer models to front line units (that how the USN did it)

The scheme is based on real world RAF P-47D Thunderbolts with No.73 OTU and this unit used both Razorback and Bubbletop Jugs whilst based in Egypt and wore standard ETO camo.
