p-47 wheel well color

[jbyrne629]

Hi all,  

I am just starting to do my research for a Bubbletop Jug. I am going to be building and I was wondering what color the wheel wells were painted. Were they painte in the green zinc chromate or yellow? Also was the cockpit done in interior green or a different color. Thanks a lot guys

Thanks for the info. I stumbled across this scheme that I think would look badass. 

 

 

 

looks like it is from the 61st FS 56th FG 8th Airforce. I wonder if I could find this decal set anywhere.

That's a P-47M and yeah I know for a fact it's available. Seen it before.

 

Personally I'm more a fan of the 63rd's blue/blue:

 

 

 

That is sexy. You may have just helped me pick a scheme.

Gotta love the Wolf Pack 47's!

 

Gabby's is still my favorite.
