Hi Gang!
I'm currently woprking on my P47 too. Maiden is still some time off though because we still have about half a meter of snow here in Austria.
My covering was also not worth much so my P47 is being recovered... with Aluminium


I have scrapped the retracts that came with the kit because they won't last two landings on our grass strip.
I am still trying to figure out a way to mount the 120 Thunder Tiger in there.
Take a look...
best regards,
Rev
