AREA 88 - F7F-3 Tigercat "Mickey"
An oooooold kit... but a good one!
The kit had been started, so time to count all the pieces and clean them up
Will be using the engines from the Academy F4U-1 Corsair. Not sure about the props.
Raised panel lines... grrr
Scribing... ever so slowly.
Boxing in the wheel wells.
Dry fit with a bit of Tamiya tape.
Old, built-in engines painstakingly removed and ready for new ones.
A good fit it seems.
Removing raised panel lines and scribing new ones more or less complete.
Adding some details to the wheel well and landing gear.
My scribing tools.
Air intakes added to wings
Interior wheel well structure added.
Wheel well sidewallstructure complete
Engine details added
Yellow oil tanks painted
Dry fit to se how it looks
Engines primed and painted.
Painted the engines black and dry brushed on the chrome instead.
