Nice! thanks for the reply! I think that I will build that one
your giant flies really nice.

Make sure you find the template addendum in the plans forum. The original plans have a mistake on one of the nose skins. It’s the wrong size.

Ok thanks
I saw the thread but I thought it had been fixed in the plans.

How many sheets of foam dose it take to build the bubble top?

I think it’s gonna be about the same.

Wrong part in V1.0. It will be fixed in V1.1. If you got the addendum, you're good to go.

TBH, the build problems of others aren't really encouraging me to try this airplane.

What problems?

Perhaps I didn't read far enough through the thread, past the early posts.

I think I've found a couple issues with the cut files on the P-47.
First is the battery box. The edge that glues on last is too tall. This makes the box somewhat out of square, and the formers won't fit over it correctly.
Second is the thin strip fuselage section that goes behind the cowl flaps. It ends up being too small. And, the #3 former won't go into it without crushing.

I have the same issue. I wasted three boards trying to fix this before giving up three the whole thing in the trash. Bummer…👎

Fuse Skin 1 (Part #15) was incorrect in the original plans. The addendum correcting Fuse Skin 1 is the above comment, #113.
Attached is the Battery Box correction.
