Paint Job

So I've got the fuselage finished, wings attached, and all other pieces have been attached accordingly. Now the only thing left to do, is paint. Although this isn't a paint job that was included in the booklet, from the research that I've done, it's the design on the fighters in the 397th Fighter Squadron. 

A little fun fact: The P-47 Thunderbolt was the heaviest single-prop engine fighter to ever fight in any war. This thing was a monster. Pretty cool that it could hold up as well as it did against the Luftwaffe and their killer Messerschmidtt Bf-109's. 

Here are a couple pictures of the paint job, more pictures of the decals/weathering are coming soon:
