F7F Tigercat Rises From the Ashes

[gman5250]

I wonder Gordon, do you have access to an F7F? How do you have all this great detail available to you? Its amazing.

Milton's original files were very complete, including a POH. The handbook has a large number of photos of the various systems, which gives me a good handle on the basic modeling. Many of the plackards and details have been gathered from various sites that specialize in old radios, aircraft parts etc. Unfortunately, all of that data was lost so the only thing in my archive at the moment is the actual model and numerous photos of restored aircraft. The only VC I recovered was the original military variant so it will be necessary to build the three civilian variants I had previously modeled from scratch. That will take quite a bit of time.

BTW...if I had access to a real F7F I'd probably spend a bit less time at the computer....lol.
