The CA dries way too fast to align the parts as required. Use 5min epoxy or regular epoxy for all the bigger parts. Use CA only for small parts - cockpit or similar.

Generally the Lukgraph models are good. I prefer the older kits having the struts made of cast resin with wire reinforcement. I have also their new Hawker Nimrod, which has the struts 3d printed from VERY fragile plastics. Center section struts already came broken. I am about to make a silicone moulds and cast all the struts (interplane+center+undercarriage) with some wire reinforcement. Something which can be done but I would prefer a 200+ Eur kit to be ready to be built right off the shelf. Cast brass would be nice as the kit is significatly heavier than a regular injection molded kit. (and the struts are lot weaker than the injected ones)

MDC Cockpit is a must for a 1/32 P-47D. It has great detail and includes both corrugated and regular floor of the cockpit. I very highly recommend to make a "shelf" from 1-2mm plastic sheets in the fuselage to make the installation easier.

It is no problem to make a copy of the original wheels of resin. (at least I did, the original wheels are detailed enough.) To the wing..have made an "I" type spar from 2mm plastic sheet, across the complete airfoil height, connecting both wing halves, glued to the both inner surfaces of the wing. This adds the stiffness, necessary for a model of that size.

I remember Cmelaks flying around like this https://www.youtube.com/embed/jZRHuvqyXuk PS: Just for strictly military modellers... there was a military version of Cmelak too! https://www.muzeum-kunovice.cz/zlin-z-37tm-turbo-military/

Here is the link to the Thomas Lund's build, And here are the pictures https://imodeler.com/2013/11/132-tamiya-a6m3-type-22-converted-from-a6m5-type-52/

Yes, those are the small details

I think you can.. The best way (in my opinion) is to use A6M5 kit and to purchase separate sprues with A6M2 wings (wing tips removed). You need to do some research for details, but in general the conversion is quite easy.

Dear colleagues, I am looking for Pitts Samson 3view. Also some interior photos would be nice, but having a drawing is fundamental. Something was published many years ago in Model Airplane News (?) but I do not know even the year. Thank you very much Jan

Boxart of the year!

I am sorry, but I do not understand your point. Do you mean that everyday making of new threads would make clearer arrangement of the entire forum?

NEWS IN HPH thread is already here here: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=28641&page=95 Admins, what you think, is merge possible?

YESS, Pilsen, capital of beer!
