Don't know if it helps, but far as I know, apart from possibly the odd switch here and there, the panel on the D-20 series was the same. The floor was diffrent from D-25 on - a corrugated, or ribbed floor instead of 'flat'. Or was it vice-versa...? Darn, I'll have to check now!

If memory serves me correctly (it seldomly does so double check), models up to and not including the D-27 had corrogated floors? After that they were flat. I may be slightly off on my rev # but I do think the later models had the flat floors.

Tamiya USA just responded to my e-mail about the availability of a replacement decal sheet. $3.25. Think I'll go that route for this model. Next P-47 model will be a 1/32 beastie so my eyes can see the detail

Good news Buck, and a reasonable price too. I think you're right about the D-27 change point, and yes, it was smooth floor after ribbed floor.
