Tolga ULGUR Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 And I have a question for P-47 experts. Does this detail on the bottom of the fuselage really exist? Tamiya did get it on their 1/48 P-47s. However, I couldn't find a reference image that proves this. My thought is to delete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAG Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Hey Tolga, it turns out @Thunnus had the same question on his Eileen build, and @JayW was kind enough to dig up the relevant info. It's a cut-out in the bottom cowl to create clearance for a dust door in the supercharger assembly that was only included in D-25 birds onward, so definitely fill that for a D-5 like your model. Here's Jay's stellar post including original drawings to back it all up. nmayhew, Tolga ULGUR, Isar 30/07 and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolga ULGUR Posted May 30, 2023 Author Share Posted May 30, 2023 Next step is the engine and the engine cowling; I must say frankly, in my previous builds, I hated dealing with the rambling engine parts Trumpeter provided. It's not even worth the effort. Although produced for Hasegawa, Quickboost's engine set fits easily into Trumpeter's Cowling. However, as of the period of D-5, magnetos need to be changed. I used Trumpeter's magnetos for this. The result is below. LSP_Kevin, Landrotten Highlander and TAG 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunnus Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Nice work on the Trumpeter Razorback, Tolga! Great to see another one being built. I thought the kit engine was quite good myself but the Quickboost engine looks very nice! FYI... two wires for each cylinder head!

I thought the kit engine was quite good myself but the Quickboost engine looks very nice! FYI... two wires for each cylinder head! Thanks for your comment and warning. I know there are two cables for each cylinder, but the cable entries of the set I have are single (I think all the sets on the market are the same) and I didn't think much of working here. Many of these details will not be visible while inside the cowling. I intend to continue this way. Thanks again for the warning. By the way, I would like to repeat that I could not post any comments since I could not see the pictures in your P-47 project.

Hmmm... I know you've mentioned this before. I'm sorry you can't see my photos. Maybe you are blocked on your end from viewing photos hosted at Postimg.cc? I don't use it anymore but just as a test, I posted an image on IMGUR... can you see this one? Tolga ULGUR and Landrotten Highlander 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
