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-47 Razorback ARF is factory-covered
with Top Flite Flat 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.
Flat Olive Drab (TOPQ0510)
Flat Dove Gray (TOPQ0511)
● The stabilizer and wing incidences and engine
thrust angles have been factory-built into this model.
However, some technically-minded modelers may wish
to check these measurements anyway. To view this
information visit the web site at www.greatplanes.com
and click on “Technical Data.” Due to manufacturing
tolerances which will have little or no effect on the
way your model will fl y, please expect slight deviations
between your model and the published values.
