Steve remember that what you are used to seeing on the P-47 is not the gun barrels. The P-47 used protective covers which is what you are used to seeing. I believe they are working on making correct covers still. It was on display before with just fake looking tubes and some hardware. Now it has accurate 50 cals. I will ask around about the covers.
Thanks Chris. I assumed that it was mainly a case of not having the correct blast tubes for the guns, and using perforated cooling jackets in their place. I'll dig through my pics, But I think when she was on display in her original condition, she didn't have any guns at all, just the empty openings in the leading edge. She's certainly gorgeous now!
