Thanks for the comments guys.
I have a few corrections/changes to make but other then that it's finished. Shouldn't be a problem identifying it in the air.
Looking forward to flying it!

PS  I was thinking of naming it "Corn Stock" but decided agianst it

Finishing touches;
-Painted 50 cal guns
-drilled dowels to concave shape to form muzzles
-drilled 1/16" holes into the muzzles.
Attached pic more clearly shows this.
Guns not glued in yet.

The shape of the muzzle seems to depend of what photo of the real p47 you look at.
Some show it inverted and others show them as non-inverted
I'm guessing the restored and original aircraft had some differences...

end of the muzzle depends somewhat on what the gun was. Machine gun different from  cannon,  .50 cal, 20mm, Were they all armed the same Dan? I have no idea.

I don't know about the 20mm's but, the P47 50 cal. guns had some upgrades at different times.
That may account for the muzzle variations...

PS How's the Hurricane build and re-build going?

If I intend on flying one aircraft I sometimes don't take my trailer and, transport my aircraft in the van.
This has created some issues with accidental damage (hangar rash) with my warbird wings.
I have been using wing bags but the issue persisted mostly due to the items built onto the wings.

The solution I came up with will hopefully reduce the risk of damage and provide safe/stable/transportation.

I have the same problem, Dan, with my Spitfire. That should work great
Although I think those little wheels will heat up when you are towing it down the road at 110 kph Wink.
