Inset 2 : As previous stated, PC flight simulation games has P-47 models one could  relatively experience its combat performance. To enhance this experience, plane skins (graphic template overlaying flight models) can be downloaded to replicate desire combat era camouflage, national markings, plane squadron codes, or nose art such as depicted red engine cowling P-47 flight sim skin of USAAF 61st Fighter Squadron / 56th Fighter Group. I prefer the IL2 flight sim game engine over Microsoft Combat Simulator PC game when it comes to realistic aircraft controls and handling.
