Markings for the Barracudacals 365th Fighter-Bomber Group sheet
Thank you for visiting this page and for building modles of the famed P-47 group known as the "Hell Hawks". The instruction sheet can now be downloaded. Please note that it is still being developed to include additional marking options, aircraft tops & bottoms, information and stories on the pilots that flew these featured Thunderbolts, plus newly-discovered photos.

A great companion to the sheet is the book, "Thunderbolts of the Hell Hawks" I wrote with John Crump and published by Roy Sutherland. It has over 500 photos never published before along with 98 profiles I illustrated documenting the 365th. The link to the right will take you to the ordering page.
