Default RE: CARF-Models P-47 Thunderbolt


ORIGINAL: DaveGee

Hi Richard: that was my take on it too, that it does look quite accurate, at least what I can tell from photos and some videos I have seen so far. If it has competed at Top Gun and done well, that speaks well of it.

Thanks for your comments.

Davegee,

Just a note about the CARF P47 doing well at Top Gun. The class this P47 was in this year is more of a pass/fail from a static score standpoint. You either get 25 points or zero. The Pro-Am/Pro-Am Pro classes are more about flying than the scale look and details.

If you are wanting to compete in scale events, I would get some more confirmation whether this model is really scale accurate. Don't get me wrong it is a very nice looking airplane and I am having one built right now, but my builder is going to have to do a lot of scale detail work.

Regards,
John
