They copied an HA-1112 (Buchon) and T-33 as well, although I have yet to see a T-33 completed.
If you look at the P-47 replica, you will see where the fuselage of the real aircraft was kinked at the wing trailing edge from a belly landing when they made the mold.
I don't think that this company takes on outside work. They just do work for Tallichet's various trade deals and restaurants (Proud Bird, 94th Aero Squadron, etc.).

"Mr. Ramirez: What will happen when we're done with this, is that we'll have a monument in front of each airplane. You can see this monument is dedicated to the 49th Fighter Group. Adjacent to it we'll have a Japanese Zero coming in. And in the back we have the Bell X-1 which was the first plane to go super sonic with Chuck Yeager to break the sound barrier."
"We are working on getting a P-24 Liberator, of course the Japanese Zero..."
The P-47's are very expensive to make because the engine takes nearly as much time to make as does the rest of the airframe due to the detailing required.
