I was just reading the Bequine story in Warbird Digest and decided to do a little digging on the M model.

Dig the funky prototype though!

I was viewing it a minute ago, and now getting that they are exceeding the transfer limit or something :shock: Great article by the way, thanks for posting. That chrome yellow test P-47 would make a neat model

This may be the answer to an old question of mine - once when Earl Reinert was showing us some of his P-47 stash, there was a stack of belly panels, all in natural metal - except one that was bright yellow and had a red light that the others didn't; maybe it was from that ship!
