Tbolt Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 9 hours ago, Reini78 said: some further progress Looking good, though one small point, which you may have already picked up, the magneto block needs removing from the engine - the unit at the 12 o'clock position on the front case between the Turtleback mags. It should look something like this, where there is a blanking plate over the magneto position. The black unit in front of where the magneto block sits on the early engines is the prop governor.

Reini78 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 except for the rudder tricolore decal all the others are undersized, so is the serial, maybe the "1/48" Tigerhead Decals fit for a 1/72 model... the Iranian F-47 had also serials on the underwings (don´t know if they had it their whole service life), between rack and roundel, but these are missing on the sheet sadly there are no decal sources for Persian numerals (differ slightly from Arabic ones) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Very nice F-47 Reini, shame about the decals, from what I gather they are worthless as everything is either the wrong size or doesn't exist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
