Last P 47M question, which prop from the Hasegawa kit is correct? Than

[Rick Griewski]

Well the best gear box I've seen. Are the two that come with the after market resin pw 2800 engine from tenixes think I spelled that wrong lol

What do you all think of the Vector R2800 (late)? The product label lists the P-47 M variant.

Edit: oops.... Ignore this. This was covered earlier in the thread.

About the HS propeller on P47D22/25/27 , diameter was 13' 1" 7/8, not 13'7/8"

You're right, of course.

 

Note to self:

Here is the almost completed master of the "flared" cuff prop.

Nice... I'll be in for two when they're available.  Now, can you create the R-2800C prop reduction gearcase indicative of the P-47M with the correct magneto/distributor setup for the R-2800 C series engine (along with your prop, necessary for those who want to model a P-47M but only have the P-47D kit)?  For that matter, what about a correct R-2800 B series prop reduction gearcase with the correct GE "turtleback" ignition system that would correct the abomination Hasegawa provides in their P-47D kits?

 

If you're up for it, I've got the information and parts to help get it done.

I really like the Hasegawa D kit, but it drives me a little crazy how wrong the distributors/magnetos are for that production block, not to mention the prop governor and gear reduction case. One can always spring for the Vector engine but it's pretty pricey and a bit of detail overkill unless you want to open up the cowling panels, in my opinion. Considering it's nigh on impossible getting my mitts on the Hasegawa M kit these days (which apparently have the correct B-series engine, although I've never actually seen it IRL) I'd be in for at least 3-4 sets if you make this happen, Harold.

 

Does anyone know if Hasegawa have discontinued the M kit? Or even if it'd be possible to order M overtrees/sprues with the correct parts from Hasegawa to make a B-series engine for the D kit?

 

Still got fingers & toes crossed for that new manscale Jug from Tamiya-San next month in Shizuoka, though!

I have the molds completed for the N/M props...PM me for more info.

I also did the props for the P-61 kit, the P-47 C2721200 prop in the drawing is identical.

 

So, here is what I have for the N: diamond and lozenge style tread/wheels, and the prop blades.
