I tried to do a quick search before opening this thread, but I couldn't find anything. Probably I used the wrong keywords. I found some threads about down and right thrust with some members saying that they don't use right thrust and use the rudder trim instead. Sometimes mixing the rudder and the throttle channel.

At this stage I think I'll try to replicate this offset and see how it goes. As you say, in the worst case I should still be able to trim it out. And right rudder will be needed anyway for takeoff.

I'm not completely sure what I'll do with this plane. This is my first warbird and I just started construction. I set as a goal to try and make it as scale as I can, mostly to see what's my limit. It's not intended for competition, though that's not out of the question if the result turns out to be good.
Not having access to a fullsize P-47 to take photos and measurements is a great limitation, but at least I'll be ready should I decide in the future to model a plane that there are no existing survivors of.

Andrea.
