Tamiya P-47M


Recommended Posts

I just picked up a Tamiya P-47M kit and have a question on the parts in the instructions. In step 3 they indicate to use the filet (part L12) that goes on the spine (sorry if that is not the correct term name for the peice) but on the sprue tree there are actually 3 filets but there is no mention of the other 2. Does anyone know what the other 2 are for?

-M Jugs carried several styles of fin strake. The one that Tamiya picks out is the proper one for the bird the kit tenders to. You might be doing another T-Bolt, so be sure to check out the correct strake for your model choice. Some early Ms didn't have one at all. Hal Sr

I think the two unused fillets are for N-1 and N-2. A new wing and cockpit and you have the N.

I don't think Tamiya are going to do an N. Those fin fillets were found on very late D's as well.
