Tolga ULGUR Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I was planning to start 1/32 Trumpeter P-47N. My procedures already established to fix inaccurate windscreen and corrugated floor of the cockpit. But no way out for the wheels. Is there any accurate 1/32 P-47N wheels in the market All I can only find wheels for D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade rowlands Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I think Jerry Rutman was the only person to make any and I'm not sure he sells his resin goodies anymore. I got a set from him a few years ago. Might be worth messaging him to see if he has any hidden somewhere. Tolga ULGUR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ade rowlands Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 No problem. Sure the wheels are the same size, just the hubs have 8 cut out for an N model. Tolga ULGUR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes agreed, I wonder why Barracuda does not add just an extra 8 cut out hub into their excellent P-47 wheel set. Just a resin hub not more BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Griewski Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) I have an extra Rutman set.... I think. I will check the historical parts archive. That said, shipping from USA to Turkey. It will be a 2oz to 3oz package. This could get interesting. Rick Edited June 30, 2017 by Rick Griewski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A340 Pilot Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 A quick and dirty fix: Drill a hole for the axle on the blank plate side of the hub and you're done. The rubber tires I can live with! Tolga ULGUR and Rick Griewski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a little more work on my mock-up wheels...I worked for Firestone for 13 years and found they did some aviation tires...SOOOO, There are still some flaws to be worked out, and more sidewall data.
