Downwind66 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Used to fly this "bad boy" with guns mounted under the wing, but I got rid of the guns, and found that my gas mileage increased! Even picked up a little airspeed! :rolleyes: Before: After: Very nice aircraft. A Milton Shupe beauty! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMLW Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Quite a difference. It looks more sleek and probably handles a bit better too. :cool: :cool: Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 Thanks David and Larry! Yes, Larry, I like the change. I have 3 liveries for this one download. 2 are clean and 1 camouflaged with guns. It's a nice download, of course, it's was done by Milton, so that says it all! Thanks guys!

kalizzi Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Hi Rick, Lovely aircraft, in clean configuration it becomes something of a racer. All that parasite drag done away with, more mileage and more speed. Interesting as a Republic model the tail is identical to that of a Thunderbolt. By the way I was using your panel on my DC-4 today. Amazing. Thank you. Best wishes.

Downwind66 Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 Thanks Khalid. I've always liked the Republic XP-72! It's very stable, predictable, and forgiving! And this particular aircraft is a Milton Shupe aircraft, and he did a great job with it! Very fast also! Glad to see you back, participating with us again!

jankees Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Very nice, and yes, Milton makes nice models. If you want, I did a few paints for it, all imaginary of course, but based on P-47 schemes, bit of a what if the war had lasted longer things.. jk8029 Slapping paint on flightsim models you'll find all my FSX/P3D repaints here and all my MSFS repaints here.

Downwind66 Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Jan - "Got it!" Downloaded the "23" above, and all is good, if there are more repaints, I will have to go fishing for them. This is the only one I came across so far! Thanks, Rick :cool: Jan - I just found and downloaded this. This is especially nice, and I think that will do it for me! Thanks again!

Downwind66 Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Jan - Yes, I found that one also on SOH, but, I am done with the Republic repaints, I do like the ones I found that you submitted.
