Will it get a tail warning receiver like the stang? I'm reading a book called dogfights: greatest air duels of ww2 and they show a diagram of the d-25 with a lamp just like the mustang

Do you know what year the diagram was made? If it was on a D-25(summer of 1944) it was definitely retrofitted. IIRC the tail warning radar was issued with some P-47N block.

 

From the latest photos of the P-47 which are from 2014, lol. There is no sign of a P-47 with a AN/APS-13. Fortunately there is a dorsal fin and a Hamilton propeller(3-5mph faster). It would be nice to see two different thunderbolts, one for ground attack and the other for the 78FG and 56FG. The 8 airforce ones would have the K-14 gunsights.

:shocking: :shocking: :shocking: :shocking: It's been a while since last news we had about P-47 3D, but that model render is so dodgy it looks like a completely different simulator. WoW.

Well even tho its hard to see, its definitely a instrument panel from a Later D block, 30+. Most likely from a D-40... unless the K-14 and Tail warning radar are retrofitted.

i see i see, the book said it was a d-25 but books arent always right, thanks for clearing that up.
