P47 Thunderbolt Instruction Manual
assembling the p-47
1. Locate the horizontal tail assembly and the
vertical fin and rudder assembly.
note: Picture shows the horizontal tail with double-
stick tape for attching to the vertical fin. We
recommend that you remove the double sided tape
and use epoxy to glue the vertical and horizontal
fin together as this will provide a more permanent
fixing.
2. Use the vertical fin to locate the position
of the alignment holes in the horizontal tail.
Using a sharp hobby knife carefully cut away
the double-stick tape in these 2 positions. Dry
fit the vertical fin to confirm a good fit.
3. Peel the backing paper from the double-
stick tape, or use epoxy glue, and press the
vertical fin into position. You will now have a
single unit of horizontal and vertical tail parts
ready to glue to the fuselage.
4. Locate the main fuselage.
