Hi.
I have read all the threads I can find on this bird and most of the commentary has been positive. A good flying airplane of good quality. I did read over and over how poor the covering was. Well my local hobby shop had one of these P-47's in stock. I was pleasantly surprised when the box said that it was covered in Monokote! I quickly opened the box and took each part out of the bags and examined it. The covering job looked real nice (as ARF'S go). well I could not resist.........I bought the P-47. Interestingly enough, the hobby shop also had the Hangar 9 .60 size P-47 in stock. I choose the Modeltech for it's razorback planform. Another deciding factor was the beefy looking built up and sheeted tail. The hangar 9 P-47, like my Hangar 9 Corsair, has that stick built flat stab. Not very realistic looking. Anyway, does anyone know if Modeltech switched to Monokote after all of the bad feedback regarding its original covering on the P-47?
Thanks,
Dom
