The Third plane is a
P-47D-30-RE bubbletop, serial #44-20392 flown by Lt. Walter A. Grabowski of the
511FS in the 405FG in May
1945 in Kitzingen, Germany. This
aircraft has almost endless bombing mission markings for tonnage dropped
as well as markings such as brooms for sweep missions, umbrellas for cover
and aircraft emblems for escort missions. This plane
is overall silver with olive drab on the top of the fuselage as well as a
black stripes on the tail and rear horizontal flying surfaces (stripes
provided as decals). The prop blades are black with yellow tips.
According to his son, he had no confirmed kills to his credit
.
The quality of
these decals is quite pleasing and of a high quality. The carrier film in nicely limited
around the decals. The decals themselves are clearly printed and in
perfect register with fine clear tiny stencils. The colour of the decals appears solid enough to
prevent paint showing through the decals. Some decals (such as the
noseart decals) come in 2 layers to ensure good coverage.
