RE: Top Flite P-47D Thunderbolt ARF .60-.91: Building & Mods
Finished cover the hatch...it's a really nice tight fit
It was a bit of a pain to find where to cut .. but came out well in the end
To repeat... they don't cut the balsa sheeting out for the hatch, this is left for you and 6 stringers.. be very careful not to cut the pins that hold the hatch in place
I also started weathering and adding panel lines... I need to airbrush it and add paint chips still
I'll work the hatch lines into my panel lines and weather it all...to help hide it
also started mocking up the cockpit... I'm going to use parts for the ARF cockpit and the kit versions cockpit
the ace's of iron 1/7 pilot fits great... I have a vailly aviation full body pilot on the way.. I'll cut it off and make a full body pilot out of the two (ace's of iron top and vailly aviation lower)
the century jet WWII looks awful... total junk
I have my motor , air retracts, servos.... everything to complete it is here...
I'll post more soon
