MiG Hunter Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Hello guys, Here is my problem and my question. Today, I went to start building my long over due IIAF 1/48 P-47. I had purchased this old Testors P-47 yeas ago. FYI, IIAF received quite a few P-47D's from USAF as military aid in the 50's. Now, unlike all the 1/48 P-47D's, seems like there is a dorsal fin in IIAF Thunderbolts as marked with the red arrow here. Any suggestion what is the best way to tackle this?

Tosa Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Hi MiG Hunter, I have the same problem, got an Academy kit but I want to build an D-30 bird. I plan to cut the fin out of a styrene sheet. I think that 1.5-2 mm thickness will do. The top would need to be sanded to make it more wedge like. That's the only thing I came up with, so far. Regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PFlint Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 if you buy the Tamiya P-47M kit you get this fin fillet and two others. along with 4 propellers ,various radio masts and parts to move the landing light to allow for the compressability flaps (also included.)
