Thank you!! Those shots I needed before I started the sheeting.
Nice Jugs. Are you on FB? I suppose you would be interested in P-47 groups: "RC P-47 Thunderbolt builders, owners and pilots."

Some progress. The back is sanded. I suppose it would be better to make some update on that kit and design new ribs. The top of the back could be covered by 2mm balsa sheets.

The belly under wings weren´t sheeted. I had to find the balsa sheets and tube and cover the belly. Cowl mounting wood blocks added.

Thanks! The first one is mine. I don’t FB but may have to check that out

FWIW, I soaked and contoured light ply for my belly pan to be far more durable in case of a belly land. It was a repair after I had the kit configuration get damaged on a fairly light belly land after gear issues

A little more CAD 3D designing. I have the TopFlite cockpit kit for my TF Razorback, but I´m not satisfied with the quality and ABS parts. I decided to make some parts for the cokpit. As you probably mentioned the gunsight is done. Last day I did the trim control unit.

Some more 3D designs are done. The pedals took me couple of hours, but the oxygen regulator was quite simple. Now I will make the levers for the mixture quadrant.

Well, here are some items I designed. The result is not bad, but they are too small. That is the reason why they are not detailed like it is presented in the pictures before.

Mixture quadrant and chassis controller are done. The mixture quadrant kit will come with the silver body. That is not right scale, but it will be cheaper.

Last morning I did new mixture quandart. That is more detailed and right scale. I am happy with the result of the flap control lever. Letters are scale and still readable. The small round items are primer starter switches.

Some update from workshop. I did the instrument panel master. In the picture is the main part of the instrument panel set and printed gauges for the windows. Some switches are done as you were able to see before.
