Glad to see some TLC expended on this bird, and it has future indoors.
Sure is an interesting shade of Green for the anti-glare panel...

I wish every museum kept us uptodate on various projects like the Peterson Air & Space Museum has with their P-47!

Hi STURMVOGEL 262
I think you will find that Robert now has 3 P47s and they are all being rebuilt to fly.
1X staying here in OZ
1X for export to OS owner and one for sale at least thats what it says in mags I have read.

Robert occasionally posts here so he may wish to coment but as it's his business he may not.

Regards
John p
