If glassing and painting is not a big job, want to do mine for me ? I would have no idea where to start, much less having turn out looking good . I can just imagine how much time it would take to remove the factory covering job and then fill what the factory covered over.

Status: offline 		I have stripped almost every arf I have ever purchased just for a different look. My last one was a H9 46% Ultimate. Takes about 45minutes to get the covering off. It is sanding the paint down ready for new paint and getting it back on that takes a long time. Steelwooling sounds like a good idea. I might just have to get two of these babies

Status: offline 		Does anyone know what the wheel diameter is? They look too small in the picture and a little goofy in my opinion. Other than this, the plane looks great.

I don't know if you could add larger wheels as the wheel wells in the wing are probably already sized for the current wheels.

Status: offline 		Guys, any input on the fuse hatch ? Any ideas on making it more concealed if one were to

get rid of the ultracote and fiberglass the fuse? A full cockpit would also be great. I would scrap

the mech. retracts in favor of pneumatics. This will be a fun very close to scale bird that could use

alot of detail work to make it more realistic. And much cheaper to start out with than say yellow, aerotech,

or a full plan kit. Much more quality minded than say KMP or CMP any of those. Also i would throw in a

retract tailwheel and doors. This arf would save some time of building say over a top flite also. We will

all just have to see how it flies. Definitely go with gasser here, saito 180 is hard to run inverted. I have one

on my great planes ryan sta. Do u think the g-26 will fit without cutting the cowl? God i have tons of questions.

I have wanted a nice p-47 larger scale razorback for a while now, but dont want to spend thousands.

Status: offline 		Monokote (iron on film in general) can be painted guys, I've done it several times, so stripping and glassing is not 100% necessary for a custom scheme. BTW I think a G-26 would be way too small for this plane IMO.. Fuji has that new 43cc or a newer evolotion gasser that would probally be pretty close to what this plane needs for gas, but I would probally do Moki 210 just cause I'm a glow kind of guy.

Status: offline 		I honestly like the markings they used. I like the whole damn plane. I would also use a Moki 2.10. There is no motor like it on the market. One flip backwards and you have 5 hp waiting to be used! I love them and wouldnt even think about another motor for this ship.

I have also had great experience with painting ultracoat. I scotchbright it first to give it teeth and then the paint sticks like glue and looks great. Now, on the subject of paint scemes,..... didnt the Germans use a few captured ones to train their pilots.....? hummmmm.....
