Hi guys,
I am about to start building P-47D Razorback in 1:16 with all the details and functions of the real bird (except for the engine with internal combustion of course). My replica will feature movable surfaces via cockpit commands, retractable gear, functional bomb/fuel tank racks, lights.... I plan to incorporate ALL the details from the real aircraft. Model would be build in aluminium in the way aircraft was made back in 1940, that is, i plan to do bulkheads for fuselage, install all the details and then cover it with ALU panels.
I have already started on this one and now making preliminary drawings for aft fuselage, fin and ruder.
I have acquired all the technical and parts catalogs and manuals but i still need a fair amount of technical drawings to make this one as accurate as possible and that's where i need all the help that i can get so if anyone of you have ANY tech drawings of the P-47 or any of its parts i would highly appreciate if i could get those (Via post, email.... i would pay for any postage costs, of course).
Also, any drawings showing structural sections, parts, assemblies or sub assemblies are more than welcome!
If anyone of you guys are doing a P-47 restoration or know someone who does, it would be great if i could get some hires photos of specific parts and assemblies!
As i have a decent archive of various aircraft books, references, drawings.... i would be happy to help anyone out with any of those, just PM me.
Many thanks in advance for any help.
Kind regards,
Alek
