I just finished a repaint of the FMS 1500mm P-47D that was originally silver from a Pacific Theater replica. I used Callie's decals and they went on beautifully! I also got the nomenclature sheet and applied several that were consistent with this particular airplane, a replica of one flown in WWII in England. I'll attach a couple of the plane and pilot back in 1944

davegee , Unique livery and superb work on your repaint. Subtle weathering, scale bits, plus ordinance, just outstanding. Best, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

These markings are how it would have looked on D-Day and somewhat later into the summer, when upper invasion stripe markings were removed, leaving markings on the bottoms of the wings and fuselage. In this case, they decided to paint over the top stripes with olive drab paint. I preferred this look over that one, at least for now.

Thanks very much. I know these aircraft did get beat up some on their missions, but I have always been in favor of doing as realistic a weathering scheme on the aircraft as I can. One of the most extreme cases I came across was at a Scale Masters meet many years ago. The pilot had a beautiful P-51D, flew well, and all that. But he weathered it so much that it looked more like it had reentered the Earth's atmosphere than a realistic weathering job on it. Still, he flew it well and collected some awards for his effort, which is cool.

I recently finished a repaint of a Seagull Bf-109E, 64" ARF. The stock paint scheme was pathetically ugly. And the spinner was completely wrong. I had my friend design and 3D-print me a scale Emil spinner, for a 3-blade prop (MAS 16x10x3). Here's the horrible stock paint scheme. I hope that this photo won't make your eyes bleed.
I decided to re-model this aircraft into the livery o Werner Moelders' JG-53 Chevron and Triangle Bf-109E-3. This was his Battle of France unit and aircraft. Shortly, after the photo below was taken, Moelders was shot down over France and was a POW of the French for several weeks. Moelders was released when the French surrendered. Here're a couple primary source photos that I used for the re-paint, and a CGI that seemed to be pretty close.
Here's how it turned out. Thanks to Callie for the vinyl markings.
and converted to black and white, for comparison to the primary source photo.
I'm pretty happy with the end results. There are still a few scale misses (gear location, canopy/cockpit size, tail markings (swastika is a bit too small and the rudder shape is wrong)), but I felt that I got pretty close, especially considering from where I started. :-)
For the hard-core modelers who are interested in the colors used...
This 109 is RLM 02 (fuselage basecoat), RLM 70 (spine and wing camo), RLM 71 (wing camo and mottling), RLM 65 (belly). This plane is 1940; so, no one should be arguing that the belly should be RLM 76. LOL---

Tony, I forgot to answer the second part of your question. The power train is an EFlite Power 90-325kv, MAS 16x10x3, 8S-5AH battery. I put it on a wattmeter yesterday, and this power train pulls 2270W and 78A (static, of course), which gives the Emil a static power-to-weight around 150 W/lbs. She should have plenty of power. :-)---
