Hi Vincent, any chance you might be able to send me (or post here) a scan of the instructions?   The instruction sheet I got is pretty washed out and I'm having a hard time following where some of the parts are supposed to go.   Sent an email a couple of days ago to MDC, haven't heard back yet.   

 

Any assistance is greatly appreciated! 

 

Edit - I found some good quality scans, so I think I'm all set.   My only question is part R16, it's a small hollow pipe that connects to what I assume is the heating pipe on the forward section of the cockpit floor.  Is this part supposed to go inline with the pipe or perpendicular?   Can't tell from the instructions and from looking at pics of later model P-47 cockpits, it's equally hard to see this area. 

 

Hi

 

It's the heater pipe outlet and it goes inline with the floor section but angled upward at about 45 degrees to blow hot air to the pilot

 

You can see how it should look here :
