85% P-47 Bubbletop

[Warlord Three Zero]

Here is my 85% Master Series P-47 Bubbletop. 85% because the full sized ones are too awkward for me to hand launch from a wheelchair. Powered by this great motor from Valuehobby.com.

Finished in airbrushed acrylic with homemade markings using MS Paint and white printable vinyl. The nose checks are resized from a P-47 paper model. This is the first FT type foamie I have built where I used a monokote sealing iron to seal the edges of the flight surfaces. Makes a huge difference in how it looks and I'm sure will make it much more durable.

Really flies great with a 2200mah 3S.

Beautiful build, I like the idea of building it at 85 percent, it makes it easier to transport that way too. I have a handful of valuehobby motors and they work great.
