I took my E Flite 1.5M P-51D LOU IV out for the first time since last fall. Over the winter break, I made some color and Camouflage adjustments after reading online, in depth opinions from some very good modelers. I think I'm pretty close to where I want to be with this airplane, now. One of my favorites to fly, hadn't touched the controls in months and had two reasonably good flights on it. Always room for improvement, though!

Davegee what an awsome ( normal 4 u) rendition of the p47 love the scheme,, im sure u no the history of it just got a spitfire,, but was sooo close to getting the fms p47.. but hate the scheme it comes in

Thanks, f4u aussie. The original paint scheme of the FMS plane was one I respected, being a top pilot and ace in the Pacific theater in WWII, but I have always like to do my own paint schemes for most of my airplanes.

Yes, I know some about the pilot and this airplane. The "OLE COCK" was actually a salutation among Brit men when they saw each other back in those days. It spread to all the "Yanks" that were living among them in England during WWII. The pilot's name was Donavan Smith. He came from Michigan and knew of a rooster logo from his home town that he had the squadron artist paint onto his airplane. I think he had 3 or 4 airplanes that had these markings on them. He was an ace in WWII, and attained the rank of lieutenant general in the USAF before passing away very young at the age of 51 from a brain tumor. I knew a few guys who flew with him in WWII. He was a great leader, very brave, and had the fighter pilot's attitude of pressing forward and defeating the enemy, which he did.

I finished putting all of Callie's markings on my new FMS 1500mm P-47D Razorback. Got the 4th and 5th flights on it today when the winds were light and really a beautiful day.
A few pics.

It's taken me a while... but finally here is the air-to-air video of the custom-painted Hornet rocking in all its glory:

[QUOTE=Ah's Availble;n366618]Thought I would share pics of my F7F. Had it for 4 years and got a little too comfortable with it. Misjudged a split-S and had to replace the forward fuselage. Inspired by James Batman L-39, I decided to go with a new paint scheme. I picked La Patrona. It is just plain sweet!

Looking good, worth the time and effort, nice runway photo. Keep away from split s for a while

You can still see some remnants from the merge with the ground, but looks good 40 feet away going 40mph.

AA, Beautiful rebuild/repaint, Sir. It is truly "Sah-Weet!" Best, LB

Here is the result. Still flies excellent! I also upgraded it to 6S and the speed is amazing. Flies fast as a jet!
