1/72 Academy Kit Conversion of an XP-47F Laminar Flow Wing

Wow, another lesson learned! I guess they were trying everything possible to make this a better plane; or to learn the effects of different wing patterns and such.

 

Great job Ed!

Interesting build, and one your work is so smooth that the new wing doesn't immediately grab your attention. Definitely gives it a new look!
