MH434 went on a bimble around the airfield today, half dressed, but it was only having a brake test. The P-47 is looking very nice now it’s on its wheels and to make room for it, some of the TFC fleet have been moved around and some are resident in the north side of Hangar 2.

Beautiful work, well done TFC!
One thing often puzzles me is why some prop overhaul shops (generally on US prop types) do not paint the yellow tips on the reverse face of the blades. Never seen this on a WWII period shot so it seems to be a modern trend. Any suggestions?
The yellow circle is a distractor for the pilot. It’s sole purpose is to provide a warning for groundcrew of the extremities of the prop circle, and is therefore redundant on the reverse side of the prop.

The ’47 looks fantastic, but it’ll need some ailerons! Well done TFC, I’m very envious of your work.
