Hi Jack ! how are you ? I have been away from the hobby for a while, and just got back in through this year ...


for everyone building / finishing this plane, how are your rivets and finer details coming out when being painted ? I do note that the rivet and some pannel line detail is very fine, and i'm concerned about paint filling in any detail in some spots. There are quite a few screws and rivets that will also need to be vixed up a bit where they did get molded up 100% ...

I have some stencil locations from some decal sheets i have for those looking for these . .. i will try and post these later ..

The purpose of this post is to make as many people envy as possible

Holding the prop is my great friend Carlos Silva (Tuni). One of the best pattern pilots in the world.

BTW, watching the plane standing on its gear for the first time is one of the most important moments during the construction... it just happened a few minuted ago !!!

I would like to share some pics of a Rafale cradle I modified for the P-47.
It allows to hold the plane in either position. Fine for transporting the plane and for assembly in the field upside down.
(And a pic of my helper LOL.)
The cradle is a BVM Rafale cradle.

This has been the most challenging part so far.
No two squares are equal (or square !)

Hi Jack - neat conversion. I just wanted to warn you about taking advice or assistance from a helper that wears a shirt that says 'Oops'.

JPate, I told him your opinion regarding his skills for advising and assisting; and this was his reaction:

Scott Prossen

Hi Scott, I will be in California attending Best in the West and visiting the family.

Will you fly your MONSTER? (I may stop by in my way back home).

Jack

JPate147

Scott Prossen

Has anyone heard back from Inzpan about P-47 cockpit availability ? I have emailed them several times and have not received a single reply. I read that they were going to be making a cockpit for the CARF p-47, and i'd lile to order one if thats the case ... does anyone have any idea on how to contact them ?

also, what is everyone doing about wing tip lights and lenses ? landing light ?

When you cut the tip for the light,Mount the piece on a bit of tube then pup a piece of pop bottle over and heat with a heat gun couple of goes and you will have it.

Iam sure someone here knows the answer...

Did the P47 for the starboard navigation light use a blue lens with red light to make green?

wojtek

My Feedback: (73)

thanks for the tip John ! I did not think of using a drink bottle and that it would mold easily with heat ... Sounds like i got a solution

With the detailed panel lines and raised panels, does the CARF P-47 represent the P-47C or D?
The 3 view in the instruction manual indicates a C model but the CARF website P-47 description states a D model???

Some progress.
Still a LOT of work to do.....

Do you guys have any technique for creating a rough surface on the walking areas of the wing?
I have tried sanding paper before, but in smaller planes. I think it won't look good on this jewel.

thanks
