not a p47. not by a long shot, it doesnt have the "jug" shape and the exhaust is one of the hurricane. probably a hurricane because of the style of the cockpit, exhaust and the air intake on the bottom. not sure about the make though. also, forgot to mention this, but the landing gear isnt in the right place and the wings arent the ones found on a p47. the wings on the 47 is flat, as in they dont go up at a small angle about 1 foot from the fuselage.

Yes-- it's a Hurri. Model? I want to say Mk. I, but that's probably just me. If I had a better shot of the overall plane, it would be easier.

i would say hurriMK-1 aswell because of the wings and where the guns would go.

hmm...now that i look at it more closely, its definately 100% a hurricane. best bet would be a hurriMK-1. the engine block screams hurricane.

Come on... where's Krusty or AckAck when you need them.

My first thought was a 109.

[B-17]

I can see that... the heavily framed cockpit bears some similarities...

no offense, but what on gods green earth would make you think that? the cockpit shows no resembelense let alone the fuselage.

[Vudu15]

I think he was joking..... and yes guys that is a hurri but remember its just a RC plane not a real model not going to have any of the proper fixtures on it.

[des506]

my guess is also a hurri.. but the side shot of the cockpit looks like a 47D... waiting for his reply... can't wait to fly that monster...

Where is the big radial cowl of the P-47?
When did the P-47 get a scoop under the fuselage?

Time for some to dig out that a/c recognition book.

 I may not be savvy when it comes to rc, but that thing is HUGE!!!

And its a hurricane

I cant see how far back the scoop under the fuselage is.


If its in the middle/towards the front then its a hurricane.

However, if its more towards the back of the fuselage it could be a Macchi C202 or 205. Also notice the shape of the cockpit frame resembles the c202/c205 more than the hurricane (the 'cane had a longer-looking canopy).

i dont think the italian c202 would have british markings.
