I took the giant scale P-47 kit from second hand. The guys almost finished wings and fuselage. He did all according to the plans and manual, except the retracts mounting. He wanted to use some China retracts which I got with the fuse and wings. At first I wanted to use the Robart electric retracts I have, but it would be too difficult to replace them and make new mounting.

2 years ago I did some STL designs, for this TopFlite kit. The white instrument dash is made of ABS. The grey one is the 3D printed, very poor quality. I will make new master and list the resin instrument panel. The 500lb bomb STL kit is already available.

7.2in dummy radial engine from our production. Some pictures of ready made done dummy radials attached, The one for my Jug I would like to make more detailed and scale. Anybody here who owned or still fly TF P-47 with Saito FG 60 and use dummy radial engine?

At the end of the October we are going to list new gunsight Mark 8. It´s desined for the TopFlite giant scale P-47. The first kits and ready made gunsights will be listed on Oct 29, 2019. Next item I´m going list the instrument panel.

The first two gunsights are done.

When I was thinking about TopFlite Giant P-47 I wanted the Razorback. That one I took was build as bubble top. A while I was thinking and tried search some bubble top paint scheme I like. But I decided to convert the jug to Razorback. The formers were still in box, well I removed the sheeting and attached the back formers.

Thank you Thomas!

I would like to see some pictures of the razor spine. Anybody who could post some pictures?

Working on the razor back and fitting the railing for the sliding canopy. It was necessary to add sheeting around the cockpit.

Sheeting of the back. There is spacing for the canopy rails. I will add them, when the fuselage will be glassed.

Here is 2 pics of my TF GS TBolt.
has a DLE55 with onboard starter.
Robart retracts converted by Down and Locked to electric. decided not to do a warbird scheme.
did a air racer type scheme bast off of a T-6 Texan racer.

Here are some actuall shots. I´m still working on the back. Now I´m not sure how to fill in the gap between the canopy and balsa sheeting. I found the two strips of the balsa, but it would be necessary to add another sheeting. Anybody can advice or post some pictures of the TF P-47 kit?
