    Thank you both!

    Fuselages have been joined. Going to work on engines and wings before doing any putty/sanding work

    Thanks Spiros (@fiveten), but I think all the credit should go to Keith (@greenterrorz)! 🤭
    Thanks for putting me on to this build, though.

    I'm not actually a fan of "opened up" models, but your work on that engine is really superb, @greenterrorz.

    @fiveten @johnb - Thank you both as always.

    @tcinla - Thank you. I use to also not love the opened up look, but I am rather fond of it now.

    P-47D engine complete. The rear section behind the engine itself is 3d printed.




    Both engines together

    Dry fit into the planes
