The wings have all the hinges done on them. Still need to do the servos and pushrods later. Next is working on the fuse. I did the tail wheel and former also.This is not the original tail wheel that came with the kit. This one is something i found online and ordered from over in Austria. I had to modify the bottom of the fuse by cutting the original molded wheel boot off so i could get this new one in place. As you can see this one is shock absorbed like on the full scale. This was the last tail wheel that the guy had.

I have been able to get the stabs set up with some wood blocks under the aluminum tube main spar. This was done so that i could drill and tap both stabs for some 6/32 bolts to attach them to the plane. I also have one elevator attached and I'm working on getting the other one done.

Hi Mirce,
I don't work fast, just at a steady pace....
The wildcat is a very cool plane..
Yes i have a scheme choosen for the plane. It is going to be a very easy Atlantic color scheme of Dark Gull Grey and Insignia white.

I think, Scott have same "combination" - F4F + Moki 250... Great machine...
Can't wait to see it in the air...
Greg, do you use fuel pump and other "extra" parts on your Moki engnes?
Best regards
Mirce

Mirce,
Scott does have the same set-up as this one will have. I have been talking and Texting Scott quite a lot lately for information during the build.
I have just put a fuel pump into my P-47 this year. Just thought i'd try it. It seems to have a slightly better transition from Idle to full throttle than i had last year with out it.
This is the only extra part i have hooked up to the motor Mirce.

Tom,
The gear are air-up and Spring-down. They work great.
As far as the prop i'm not sure what i will be using yet. The brand new Moki engine in my P-47 quit on me twice in the air at Top-Gun and the second time it did i lost the plane, so i am not very Happy at this point with using my other Moki in this plane so it probably won't get finished as quickly as i had hoped.

Ed B,
As far as the details in the skin of the Fuselage and Wings it does have all of the flathead and Raised rivet details in it. It also has the screw heads and hatches molded in the skin. As far as being the right size i haven't even thought about measuring any of this stuff as i will just use this as a
fun airplane for the weekends and show circuit. If i compete with it i will use it in Pro-Prop class. The elevators,ailerons and rudder have the looks of a cloth covered surface molded into the skin. They also have the rib sticking molded in them.
The Fuselage skin also has the wrinkled look of the real thing as do the wings. You can also click on the pictures and then expand them to see the details.
