      P-47D-30(Early)** livery by Bo_Nidle.

 "Kwitcherbitchin 7th" was a P-47D-27-RE flown by Major Randall "Pinky" Hendricks, of the 368th Fighter Group, 397th Fighter Squadron, 9th Air Force.

 It is depicted as it would have appeared in the summer of 1944.

 Hendricks was the top scoring ace with the 368th, having shot down four Fw190's on the 12th June 1944 followed by a Bf109 on the 22nd June 1944.

A few notes about this skin:

All the art has been drawn by me.

The roughmets have been adjusted and updated to give a better metal effect.

The cowling access catches have been reduced to the correct amount: twelve rather than the 26(!) depicted on the template, and are now correctly orientated to the normal map. 
The front cowling panel line has also been moved rearwards to its correct location. 
The cowling rivets have been correctly aligned to the NM and the superflous rivets (a lot of them) erased.
(There are far too many rivets modelled and drawn on the cowling area, about two thirds should be removed.)
The maintenance data stencils have been replaced with a more accurate accurate font and spelling errors corrected.

Installation:
Place this folder in the Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/CoreMods/WWII Units/P-47D-30/Liveries/P-47D-30 folder.

=====================================================================

**In the sim use this skin on the P-47D-30(early) which has no fin fillet.
