The dorsal fin extension was retrofitted in the field to earlier P-47D bubble-top variants.
The P-47D-40 also was fitted with the new K-14 computing gunsight. This was a license-built copy of the British Ferranti GGS Mark IID computing gyroscopic sight.
Red or green smoke target flares carried by ground attack aircraft like the p-47 or IL2 are much wanted also. This makes it easier for other teammates to identify the enemy ground target.

Also a green colour for both the p-47 seat and the armourplate is much more historical correct.
