P-47 D25-D28 Engines

[Tolga ULGUR]

Hi all,

I would like to confirm which P&W engine was used on P-47D 25, 26, 27 and D28.

Are they the same engine used on D30?

The following configuration is correct for these versions? (Type of magnetos etc)

I am preparing to 1/32 Gabreski's D25 .

Thanks in advance

Hi Mark

Thanks but this is (2800-21) the early version and with early types magnetos used generally on razorback version.

All P-47D-25 through P-47D-40 (bubbletops) used the Pratt & Whitney R-2800-59 B series engine with the GE (General Electric) ignition system.

All the engines (including differences in magnetos) installed in each variant, even includes the part breakdown for Hasegawa 1/32 kit & Tamiya 1/48, pretty comprehensive.

 

cheers!

Hi,

 

Yes, the first photo shows the correct magnetos for Gabreski's D25.

I built it few years ago: https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/53495-132-hasegawa-p-47d-in-gabreskis-markings/

Cheers

If you used this type of engine...

 

 

for your bubbletop jug, you've installed the wrong engine.  Below is a representation (if not the actual engine) of the correct engine for the P-47D-25 through P-47D-40
