DIO Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) This plane has been the subject of quite a lot of interpretations, regarding the fuselage colour, the wheel bays internal colour, the tail colour and the reg numbers. I have read almost everything related to it and I decided that I will be proceeding based on William Dunham's document. Thanks William. A great document and an amazing research has been done...

DIO Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Some more progress :-) Well, as usually the quality of my photos is **&*(^*%%$&^, but :-( Edited January 11, 2016 by DIO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-Two Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Very nice job on this one. Bare metal t-bolts are my favourites...although I have to admit that this bare metal foil technique looks somehow intimidating. Very good cockpit also. It's gonna be a real beauty...I'm looking forward to see it finished. Edited January 11, 2016 by One-Two 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIO Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Thanks mate. All missing in reality is just the engine spark plugs and the central tank. Maybe some smoke in the engine exhausts and ready to fly in my cabinet :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIO Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Some more photos before the central tank is positioned. Probably all the work done here will not be visible, but i will know :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewE Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Shaping up to be a great build, you have chosen a very nice scheme as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIO Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Thanks! Yes, I think the scheme is definitely one of the best for razorbacks, although not 100% documented. One of the issues I am still trying to find out, is if the name on the cowling was in both sides or only on the starboard. Actually this is the reason that the engine is still in for service :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIO Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Today I found out the hard way why nobody uses the central "flat" type tank in any of the Hasegawa P-47s!!! It simply works as a stand, lifting the model at least 1mm higher than its landing gear!!! I thought it was my mistake, so I googled it. It is no surprise that nobody uses that :-( Anyway, the main thing is done, with just the engine and the cowling on the bench. Photos, once I have something interesting to show...
