1/48 Tamiya P-47 Razorback 318th FG Saipan (1 Viewer)

Fresh off the bench Razorback finish in the marking of the 318th Fg out of Saipan . The 318th Thunderbolts was loaded on Jeep Carriers at Bellows fields then launched from the carrier once it arrived at Saipain where then did a mission once launced from the Carrier then several more from the land base. My great friend whom sadley passed away Norris Graser of Thundercals made the beautiful sheet. So after watching the Wings program on the P-47 several times and seeing P-47's launch from Jeep Carries i had to do one , Eventually i will add a center ling drop tank and pilot . I dedicate this build to my good friend Norris .
