I can't wait to see the pictures of your modifcations after they are complete. By the way, have you checked the build over on RC Groups of the 1.5 size P-47? I wonder how many Top Flite Warbirds are ever finished in less than one year and actually brought to the flying field compared to H9 Warbirds?? And also how about a total kit budget that doesn't exceed the cost of the ARF model?
