Ruth is tooled up and waiting to go!

This is the Academy 1/48 p-47n with a few modifications.Cooling flaps opened up, hot air and engine exhausts' walls thinned, a Quickboost gunsight added seatbelts added, propeller blade profiles changed, several hvar mounts removed, brakelins added and Aztec decals used.These decals went on very well, but the main nose art appears to be too big or overscale, but bought them so used them.I think its turned out how I wanted more or less.Ground work and backdrop should be Pacific island, but I've got no palm trees.
