The Academy P-47N comes in two versions - 'regular' and 'special'. What is the difference?
P.S. Why all the P-47 questions? Well to state the obvious, I'm making the models.

If you are making a relevant model from that group, and the shade of the paint dosen't come out quite right, you have my blessing to go ahead and not worry.

Probably both.
I do have a scan of the bar of the Barflies (73rd), though, though it might be the "PX". Anyway, there is the squadron insignia above a display of liquor, cigarettes, and peanuts behind a counter. I'll post it to this newsgroup.
P.S. someone is 'spoofing' this address in connection with eBay. There is not and never has been an eBay account uinder Chezelwig.
