Anybody interested in a P-47 Build?

[Mr_McGlue]

Top Flite Giant Scale kit. Some detail. Not sure if anybody here would like it? Let me know. Already started.

Of course. What finish are you considering?

 

[Bartman]

would love to see it, especially the scale details.

not asking much, right?

 

[Mr_McGlue]

Ok. I've actually started this almost a year ago and took a break for quite a few months but I'm back on it now. I'm hoping to get it done by next May for a warbird event.

The plane will be based on the 56th Fighter Group 62nd Squadron Maximum Goose flown by William Gordon.

Engine will be a Dle-85. Finish will be glassed and painted with Klass Kote. Since the kit isn't true scale I'm just going to be adding little scale details as things I notice. I'll just start posting stuff to get caught up where I'm at.

Some books.

One Side of it.

Someone actually found the original cowl or part of it.

The more build threads the better!

Is this a razorback or a bubble?

 

[Terryscustom]

Hell YEA!!!! We love jugs!!

 

[Mr_McGlue]

Razorback. It was damaged on takeoff beyond repair in France July 1944.

I'm doing the Top Flight P47 in ARF form, but changing up the scheme. Will have a 70cc 4-stroke single on a small canister muffler. Should sound pretty wicked on high speed runs. Engine on test stand spun up the 22 x 10 x 4 prop like it was not even there.
