P-47D Little One
Research and build preparation
The aircraft and the scene
The plan is a museum-style cutaway of Little One, using the 1:24 P-47D Razorback kit, with a companion airfield diorama featuring a Willys Jeep. The aircraft configuration, markings and scene details will follow the evidence available for the period represented.
What comes next
Document which details the references support, identify the open questions and decide what can be represented with confidence. The aircraft jig is being developed to hold awkward parts during assembly. Inspect the jig prototype.
