Thanks for all your input, guys.
So now I'm leaning towards the TF P-47 over one of the Skyshark kits. I looked at the manual for the P-47 and appreciate it's detail. I also like the availability of aftermarket parts for the P-47. However, I've had a bad experience with die-cut parts and am concerned about having to repair a quarter of the pieces after getting them out of the die, like with my EasySport. Can anybody that's put one together recently vouch for the quality and fit of the parts in this kit? That'd put my mind at ease.
I have built TON of TFs kits over the years and I've never had any problems with their die cut parts... Top Flite has always seem to make sure they put the best wood in their kits. and if I re-call right I have only had 1 MAYBE 2 kits (one was the AT-6 that is no longer made and the other was the P-51) that had some bad sheeting I didnt like. I have also built their P-40, P-47, AT-6, TONS of P-51s (for myself and other people) and the hawker sea fury.....hope this helps.
