Tolga ULGUR Posted January 28, 2017 Author Posted January 28, 2017 I realized that I did not cut the wingtips lights. A little "late" surgery for the wing tips lights Clear parts are prepared. mpk, AdamR and mark31 3

Joel_W Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 There is a level difference between the fuselage and cowling at the bottom. As you can see alignment is not good. So it needs some surgery to solve this problem. Cutting the front section protrusion of the fuselage and re-install it 1 or 2 mm down is enough. If the cowling isn't low enough to be even with the bottom of the fuselage, the fix of lowering the front protrusion would also lower the top. Is the cowling higher then the top of the fuselage?

Joel_W Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Tolga, Just finished reading through your entire build. Just an excellent build for sure. Your NMF is outstanding to say the least. Joel mpk 1

Is the cowling higher then the top of the fuselage? Joel Hi Joel In fact, no problem on the cowling dimensions entirely. The problem is on the installation point of the fuselage The problem is solved when the connection point is shifted down 1-2 mm. You can see test fitting of the cowling on page 4. mpk 1

Tolga, Since I'm about ready to buy the Hasegawa P-47D bubble and some AM parts, the cowling issue is of concern to me. So you're saying that by lowering the mounting point of the cowling it now fits correctly both on the top and bottom. So the top would have been 1-2 mm to high. Joel mpk 1

Joel And, to expand, simply chop off the point and eyeball it, attaching it slightly lower than it is molded? Thanks, Bill from California. mpk 1
