Default Ziroli 92" p-47 build thread



General info:
I used these plans to build the 110" P-47 and thought I'd build the 'regular' size version for smaller fields.
First, I want to assemble my Ziroli B-25 and then I'll start on this project.
While setting up the work table for the winter, I thought I'd lay out the plans for the P-47 before covering them with blankets so I can then work on the B-25.
The wing plans were cut out and taped to the build table. The fuse plans were laid on another table.
I'll be cutting all the parts so those templates were cut from the plans.
When I bought the plans, I also purchased the cowl and canopy.
Since I had a previous Z P-47, I've also got the gear.
A new DA-85 will be on the business end.
It will be a razor back with the usual functioning canopy and cowl flaps along with full gear doors.
As with the larger P-47, this one will also be done with aluminum tape.
