This kit comes with the bubble canopy. For the Razorback version,
simply use the included wood for building and also purchase
TOPQ8042 clear canopy to convert this kit.
The O.S. FF-320 has plenty of power to fly the Giant P-47. The
cylinder will protrude through the sides of the cowl and only is
a couple of oz. heavier than an US 41 and shouldn't be a problem.
The wing planform is scale, but the airfoil is a little different
compared to the actual airplane. The stab and fin have been
enlarged to help stability. Everything else is pretty close to
scale.
A small portion of the Robart landing gear protrudes from the bottom
of the wing when retracted.

The design and installation as specified are reasonable for a sport scale
airplane. The entire gear, wheel and mechanism are fully within the wing,
except for that portion of the strut that bends out and around the wheel,
which protrudes something like 1/4". To get the strut completely inside the
wing, it would have required thickening the wing or placing the wheel
right where the spar is. Both of these alternatives would have been costly
and the second would have added much complexity. Robart now offers an
optional specialized strut, which we do not carry.
