P-47 throttle quadrant details

Tue Nov 08, 2011 11:05 pm

Looking for some really good pictures or diagrams of the assembly and function of the throttle quadrant in a P-47. Prefer a D but any version gladly accepted.

TIA,
Chad Veich

These aren't the best, but they're what I have on hand.

The first two are from the P-47D "Hairless Joe" on display at the Tillamook Air Museum, while the last two are from a display case at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation.

Here's a scan out of the parts manual if it will help. Let me know if you need the parts list.

That's fantastic CraigQ, thanks! Any chance you would be willing to email the original file to me at cwveich@cwvmodels.com? I'd love to see it in a bit higher resolution.

Thanks!

Chad, please tell me you're making a kit of the throttle quadrant (or even better, the cockpit)???

Hi Zack,

I'm a radio control enthusiest and I am working up a 1/6 scale cockpit kit for P-47 builders. I'm thinking I will also offer a 1/4.5 scale to go with the new 110" span CompARF P-47 as seen below.
