Hello,
Here is my rendition of the famous P-47D SN44-19718 “Pengie IV” flown by “Mike” Gladych from 56th FG, 61st FS based at Boxted during Fall 1944.
I chose to keep the under surfaces in NMF… Upper surfaces in RAF Dark Green.

There is a small museum at what’s left of Boxted airfield, would it be ok if I sent them a copy of your photos, seeing your aircraft brought back memories for me as I used to deliver mail there before I retired

No problem Roy, it would be an honor for me.
