Lindsey for instant gratification, the P-47 for the long term...

I'd take a nice Gabby Bubbletop tbolt any way I can get it..

Not too instant I hope. Hate to have her giggle and hiccup right after her engine gets going!


I like jugs anyway I can get 'em too. Why won't anybody make an R.S. Johnson jug?

This is nice, like their P-51Bs. I just dont have the room or money for either.

On the one hand, I own 3 Dragon's P47 (M/D/D-Razorback) for only one Dragon's F6D. On the other I have 2 P51B from Eagle Intl.

Poor Shawn, no Eagle's birds ! How awful !

Put me in the '51 camp. It's a good thing the '47 could absorb so much punishment since it took a great deal by not being able to outfly a 190 or 109. (I said outfly, not outdive). The Mustang didn't have to be so tough- it simply flew out of harm's way!

Dunno about that -- I've read several pilot accounts (from both axis and allied perspectives) where Jug pilots outflew both the 109 and 190... it's all about the pilot, not the plane

That is right, it is the man, not the machine.

I talked to Richard at OMI, he said that all current and future models are expected to be sold at the new prices.

Did by any chance did he tell you when P-47's may be released ?

Sometime next year. I didn't get any specifics.

Ok ya got me- I was only trying to stir up a little conversation. But if I remember my history, between the to aircraft in question, the P-51 had a higher number of air-to-air kills than the P-47 even though the Mustang did not show up in appreciable numbers until 1943 while the T'bolt was around from the beginning.
