Hi there from Florida

[B29WereWolf]

Hi guys, I'm Sebastian, live in Sebastian, FL, 28 years old. I'm an unemployed pilot (might change after my interview tomorrow) and love warbirds. I chose my user name because my uncle was the Navigator aboard the B-29 Were Wolf which was shot down on 27 January 1945. I'm also an A&P mechanic in training.
A friend and I would like to start building a replica P-47, a cockpit to start out, then later on an 82% scale flying one. The P-47 is my favorite fighter, but I'm big into the English chariots as well (Mosquito and Hurricane). The cockpit would be for flight simulating and a nice learner project before diving into a flying replica.
I'm looking around for P-47 information, so if you have any, please spare it with me. BTW, my favorite model is the D (razorback).
My claim to fame is that my grandfather flew C-47s and B-24s in India, in B-24 school he flew with James Stewart and he retired from Continental as a DC-10 Captain, and currently my dad is a 747 driver for Kalitta. IF you'd like to know anything about me, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks.
-Sebbles

Welcome aboard Sebastion - I believe another member is already building or has built a P-47 cockpit so you might get a few good tips.

Welcome aboard B29! There is tons of stuff here for the P-47 oncluding, possibly the manuals. Just do a search. Sounds like you have flying in your blood.

I may be wrong but I thought someone was asking about a WWII machine named "Werewolf" on here about a year ago?

Hi Guys, thanks for the reception. I'm looking forward to doing a lot of research on here. Njaco If someone is asking about Were Wolf, I'll answer whatever questions they have. I've done a ton of research on it, and it's interesting what I've found. Where in South Jersey are you from? I used to live in Trenton before I moved here to FloridaShinpachi Where did you get the illustration of Were Wolf? I just had a profile art work done, so I'm using it as my signature photo. I'd like to get over to Japan and visit the crash site, and there is also a gentleman with some wreckage and a parachute, I believe it's my uncles, he fell to his death after his 'chute failed to open.

Shinpachi Where did you get the illustration of Were Wolf?

Hello again, B29.
That is my artwork. I am a CG creator and researcher of 73rd BW as well.
I wish you can meet your uncle well in Japan
