                        I was able to get nice and close to the P-47 atthe Reading, PA WWII airshow today. I have added a Jug to my build list.

                        left flap


                        left nav light


                        prop hub


                        engine


                        LG close


                        LG


                        wheel well 1


                        wheel well 2


                        elevator connector


                        aileron hinge-bottom


                        flap hinge-top


                        control surface TE...aileron in this case

                        It was interesting that the flying surface TE is formed from 2 pieces... the top and bottom skin. All control surfaces had the narrow lip formed by the wedge shaped peice between the 2 skins and extending a bit. I have never built a P-47 so I don't know if the line is "scribed' at the TE on the contols or not.

                        Great stuff!

                        Were there any P-40s there?

                        Hey Wing_nut, thanks for the photos!

                        Last year, the same P-47 (or one very much like it Smile [:)]) was parked with the supercharger vents in the fuselage open. I thought about getting a photo, but I don't think I did. I was hoping to get one this year, but the vents were closed.

                        Regards,

                        -Drew

                        Great pics - I'll use them as I continue work on my razorback.

                        Thanks for sharing!
