Nice job bringing it back to life!  I'm scratch building a 1/6 P-47D-23 Razorback right now as my "prototype", the next will be a bubble and markings will also be for Hun Hunter XIV.  I did my razorback canopy in one piece with a mold and pulled some 0.060 PETG down over it...worked really well.  I'll be doing the same for the bubble top next.  Here are some pix of the razorback canopy being made with my home made vacuum table.  It is a bit technique dependent, but in the end you have a full canopy made in ONE PIECE so the windscreen and slider match up perfectly.

Cheers!

Thanks,

Tim

Had to Throw in a pic landing my Yellow Aircraft P-47 in Albuquerque Yesterday. Photo courtesy of Fred Prince. I should be getting more in flight photos soon.

Right now I 'm working on the wing and setting up the plans for the radio installation.  Scratch building the wing is proving tricky: the ailerons are very thin and the "Freize" hinges require exacting linkages/pushrod setups...and it's no better for the flaps!

  I don't want to cheat and just have "plain flaps with a big DuBro hinge"...and the exact scale flap drives I engineered would be too finicky and likely to skew and hang up.  So, I went with a more standard looking fowler flap setup...but adjusted the tracks so the flap will move more like the way the flap on the P-47 actually moves.  It is not exact, but its close, and it should be robust and effective in the long term.  However, it too will need some well-built drive pushrod setups.

Got some additional pics from Albuquerque, courtesy Sean Linehan ....thought I'd share!
