Description: Top Flite Gold Edition P-47D Thunderbolt 85" Wingspan with Robart mains retracts. I bought this kit several years back and never opened it . I am never going to build and fly this so decided to sell. Opened the box and it was very well packed but noticed several things. It is missing the Engine Cowl. Also missing the Bubble Canopy BUT a pair of Main Robart retracts were in there. So it appears someone stared to look at pieces and started to label them in separate bags so I will have to go through this piece by piece to ascertain if there is anything else missing. It does say on the front of the assembly manual that it is missing 1/4 x 3/8 basswood spars. The Robart retracts have their name on them but no number. I unrolled the plans and these retracts will definitely fit. The Wheel axle to pivot point on plans is about 1/2" shorter than the ones supplied but there is plenty of room to mount these ones as the retracts in the plans look larger at the pneumatic cylinder end and maybe older style ? Fiber Glass Specialties sells the Engine Cowl and Canopy so those should be readily available ( went online...assume they are still in business ). All wood is in very good shape. I will reinforce the bottom and top of the original box and wrap in heavy paper with Duct tape with several fragile stickers. Update Jan 11th : The kit is complete except for the canopy and Engine Cowl...I have dropped the price $100 to compensate for that. The only other thing I found is hi-lited in pink in pics....1 small piece missing with circle but there is one there to copy...and 2 small pieces that are at least outlines in the wood to copy and make....very minor. All die cut pieces are there otherwise. As u can see....there is plenty of balsa sheets....stringers etc...other plywood and thicker balsa pieces as well..and he has made some parts out of plywood instead of balsa....with extra double rib supports. Box is packed ready to go....added bubble wrap and styrofoam beads.
