The MDC set is (along with Eagle s FW 190 sets) the best cockpit set for  WW2 plane,if you re patient you can take MDC s corrugated floor(also offered in the set)and cut off dets such as hydr pumps,stick,and other floor mostly details,personally i don t like the 2D effect of p/etched but in some cases(instr.panels,placards) they look superb-the Barracuda SPOKE wheels(without the flat cover) are ok for N you just have to look for the right tyre pattern if any particular for the N or the particular plane you build-cockpit has many differences and at least 1 unique as the seat had arm rests-cheers

yes, here http://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=70551&start=285#p1447650

you can see how I installed the cockpit to the N fuselage. Important is to install bulkheads and auxiliary floor (the later made of a plastic sheet) before inserting the cockpit.

 

If you need to, I can make N resin wheels for you

Hi,i m building Razorback and i m planing to cut off details from MDC corrugated floor and attached them on the kit s,do you think the MDC set can be combined with the Razorback s back plate and then attach on the kit s fuselage?-cheers

Thanks aging  Jan K   

    I started to look at your post with the earlier link :innocent:  But saw it was a different  language and stopped :wub:    So when you re-posted it     I looked at how you did it  :thumbsup:   Thanks. Nice build on the P-47 N to.    

Barracuda P-47 wheels are all D model wheels So :hmmm:

 

Also like to buy a set of your N eight spoke wheels to!!!! :punk:   

 

Cheers and off to order the MDC cockpit

Hey guys, any place to get the P-47 MDC Cockpit st in the USA?

Nope, order right from Bob at MDC in the UK.  First rate service and if there's a problem (and  there rarely is), he makes sure you're taken care of.

I double this,their customer support is best of the best,even when i destroyed a small part and asked to buy it they send it free as a fellow modeler would have done-cheers
