When you assemble the tail surfaces, you must hinge the rudder and the two elevator halves using Robart hinge pockets and hinge-point hinges. The tail surfaces are the only parts of the model that are not prehinged. This is what the tail looks like when everything has been completely assembled. The stabilizer is installed through the tail of the fuselage. Begin by cutting an opening in the fuselage.
Installation is straightforward.
The elevators are tied together with a torque rod that is easy to install. This is a very complete kit, but to keep it affordable, some of the more scale items are optional. The Aero Detail Book on the P-47 is also available. Because they are vacuum-formed, it is difficult to get details such as rivets and fine panel lines. You may want to give this area some attention and add some detailing.
