Yes, sorry to sound un-enthusiastic! Continually amazed though at all the effort that goes into making "things" and that years later it's almost as if they never existed as documentation is exceedingly lacking, and if none of those things were saved...it's kind of depressing if you think about it!

Cool, might be something new? Or it's the source of what's already out there. Interesting nonetheless.

Yes, this is what I have already, this is the limits of what the internet has it would appear:

I've tapped out everything I could find via the internet, wondering if anyone has any photos of an installed, or on display FuG-240 radar, or drawings of any kind showing the antenna and associated emitter side equipment (what you'd expect to find in the nose of an aircraft using). Thanks in...

Thanks for the replies. Turns out I was wrong about the available kits being incorrect in this detail; seems both the Academy and the Hasegawa/Revell/Monogram kits have correctly modeled the N wing, much to my delight.

Anyone familiar where I might find drawing/image documentation of the revised wing on the P-47N? I'm trying to determine what changes would be required to correct a 1/48 P-47N model kit; there are only 2 P-47N kits in 1/48 and both appear to merely square the wing tips to create the unique N...

I'm looking for information regarding the FuG-240 radar, but more importantly, I'm trying to determine if any sets exist, and are on display, anywhere in the world?

Thank you for this, BTW.

I've found the engine length online, something around 2600 mm. Does anyone know how that is measured, that is, is it to the very face of the (I'll call it...) the gearbox at the leading edge to the very rearward face of the supercharger housing at the trailing edge? More importantly...does it...

The patent drawings are very enlightening, I'm surprised I haven't seen it referenced elsewhere. I'm pretty far down the CAD road, and the other issue, as this is a cosmetic drawing to create a printed part that will fit an existing model kit, compromises will be had. And for what it's...

Thanks for the info. Still early days with this, trying to get my head around the shape of the housing at the rear as there's lots going on there (but some pretty decent pictures online, sections, etc.). Need to determine what I want to do about the exhaust/intake/and cooling ducting as it...

I'm coming up with zeros in my search for this: Who can tell me the degree angle offset between the banks on the R4360 (is there an industry term for this?)? Looking head on towards the engine, Calling bank 1 "zero", what's the angle offset between bank 1 and bank 2? 2 to 3, etc, and is it...
