IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES
● Anytime a sheet metal screw is installed in wood,
fi rst install the screw, remove the screw and apply a
couple of drops of thin CA in the hole to harden the
threads. After the CA has cured, reinstall the screw.
● Photos and sketches are placed before the
step they refer to. Frequently you can study photos in
following steps to get another view of the same parts.
● The Giant P-47D ARF is factory-covered with Top
Flite MonoKote fi lm. Should repairs ever be required,
MonoKote can be patched with additional MonoKote
purchased separately. MonoKote is packaged in six-
foot rolls, but some hobby shops also sell it by the
foot. If only a small piece of MonoKote is needed for
a minor patch, perhaps a fellow modeler would give
you some. MonoKote is applied with a model airplane
covering iron, but in an emergency a regular iron could
be used. A roll of MonoKote includes full instructions
for application. Following are the colors used on this
model and order numbers for six foot rolls.
Aluminum (TOPQ0205)
Orange (TOPQ0202)
White (TOPQ0204)
Black (TOPQ0208)
Sapphire Blue (TOPQ0226)
Missile Red (TOPQ0201)
