P-47A Slim-line T-bolt

^ If mine are half that good, I'll be happy. 

Working on the annular engine now. It is going to use a collection of bits from a Fw-190D, a P-47 and a Fiat something.

Also, the ducted spinner Thunderbolt is on the way. Hope to post pics tomorrow.

Sorry for the poor quality of the pics. Had no idea my room was so dark! The G.55 doesn't really fit here but I'm quite pleased with the look (the engine is a former water squirter). They'll all need some adjusting, filler, blending etc. but hopefully you'll see where I am going here.

The last photo are great, it's a good way to slim that.

Very innovative use of found objects.  Keep it coming.

I like the ducted spinner.  Looks good.

Thanks guys. I'm changing the extreme nose of the razorback from a Fw-190D one to a EE Lightning one. It's more in line with the look I'm after.

I can't wait to see it completed. Definitely a different look for the venerable P-47---more like an elongated P-35 without the deepening of the fuselage.

I know for definite that there is an after market annular cowling for the Ta 152 H available in 1/72 if you don't have available any other source of parts for the radiator.

Really cool series of pics. Between your and JHM's P-47 ideas I am ready to model a few myself

....more like an elongated P-35 without the deepening of the fuselage.

That was exactly what I was going for, an evolved P-35/-41/-43 look!

LOVE THAT LAST PIC

I'm really happy with the way that one is turning out. I think I can just about squeeze a R-4360 into that nacelle but I'm also thinking about one of P&W's big H engines* with an annular radiator.
