Hi all!

I'm working on this profile for the 1946 GB over on the What If board but it has some relevance here too.

Well the first profile is done! I've always loved how Expected Goose looked as a P-47N and there was no doubt that this would be the first of the jets.

Tonight I'd like to introduce you to Fran from the 395th Fighter Squadron aka the "Panzer Dusters"

The pin up took about 3 hours to get right. Who knew drawing boobs could be so hard?? Anyhoo I hope you like her, expect some more nose arted brutes soon!

These look fabulous. You have recreated the missing link between the P-47 and the P-84!

One of my all-time favourite missing link. Congratulations for this outstanding work! Thanks!

This might be somewhere where it's worth using Poser or Daz Studio to produce the nose-art and then cutting and pasting it onto the profile. Relevant example attached -- this was something I did for the launch of the Girl 4 figure.

Nice job for a modern aircraft! But if you want the nose ladies to look more realistic for the period (1940s) I suggest you take a look at the work of classic 2D pin-up artists such as Gil Elvgren, Alberto Vargas and the likes.

Well decided to brush up on the skills with two more P-47 jets.

The first is from the RAAF and is one of my favorite shcemes and one I'd like to add to a Bearcat in this guise and a F-16 in a more modern version:

The for all the SEAC fans out there, I based this off of one of Clave's profiles becasue I was too lazy to dig up SEAC schemes other than looking up the colours :p

Now where did I put those Hawk plans?
 
I hate to be a weenie about a What If creation, but wouldn't the CG be out of place in this configuration. Where's the engine? There are 2 alternatives:
- in front of the cockpit, in which case the really long jet pipe would run under or through the cockpit - I can't imagine that would be popular among pilots
- aft of the cockpit
In either case, a large mass has been unbolted from the front end and another added further aft while the wings and tail seem to retain their P-47 positions.
