GO FOR IT !! The Wright brothers didn't mess around and they had more than an arf on the line. This was my TF. P-47 kit built, glassed, custom painted, the works flew like a champ right out of the gate.Notice I said "WAS" my P-47. Got shot down 2 weeks after the maiden by some mystery signal. I have another one in the box for this winter, trust your skills and go for it. Here are some before and after shots not to scare you or anything,take along a buddy and let them trim it for you while you keep your eyes on the sky. It's a great lookin plane!
