Nice work. I like the bubble canopy better.
Thanks. I’ve never been a big fan of the bubble canopy P-47. I like the lines of the Razorback better.
(for those wondering what we’re talking about, later versions of the P-47 had a “bubble” canopy)

An awesome airplane. I had the privilege of seeing P-47 and a P-51 at Barksdale several years ago. The sound of both are incredible but the ‘47 became my favorite that day.

I’m sure you already know this, but the bubble canopy was developed for better visibility for the pilot.
The early versions of both the P-51 and the P-47 suffered from blind spots until the bubble canopy was developed.
