P-47G at Duxford

Just to add a bit of cheerful balance to recent Warbird news, TFC's P-47G has been seen outside Hangar 2 at Duxford freshly painted in her service uniform. Looks fantastic!

Apparently still some work to do before she's ready to fly, but surely it can't be long...

Edit: blast, "b log spot" (no spaces) seems to be a dirty word around these here parts, won't let me post the image!

Here you go, Treaders:



Were the gear bays and interior cowling really left in primer or is there more painting to do?

Much appreciated I42, tinyurl, why didn't I think of that!

Think the internals are normally left in primer aren't they?

Cheers
