About product

Engines Grumman F7F Tigercat 1:72 (Quickboost)

A resin detail part, not an airplane kit. This finely cast resin set replaces the engine fronts of the American twin-engine Grumman F7F Tigercat fighter in 1:72 scale. The Tigercat was the first twin-engine fighter put into service with the US Navy and was powered by a pair of Pratt and Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engines. The part is meant for more experienced modelers who work with resin.

What the part is for

On a twin-engine aircraft the fronts of the radial engines are clearly visible through the circular cowlings and the way they are rendered strongly affects the overall impression. The resin castings offer finely drawn cylinders and more three-dimensional depth than the simplified plastic from the box. Once painted in metallic shades and brought out with a wash, the engines gain depth and look convincing.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue
  • Cut off the casting blocks and sand the surfaces with respiratory protection
  • Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate)
  • Bring out the cylinder detail with a dry brush and a wash

Who the part is for

  • For builders of the F7F Tigercat fighter in 1:72 scale
  • For more experienced modelers working with resin
  • For lovers of finely drawn radial engines

This is a resin detail accessory, not a model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. These are resin engine fronts that complete a kit you already own. The base aircraft model has to be bought separately.

A pair of Pratt and Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engines. It was the first twin-engine fighter put into service with the US Navy.

It takes a little experience. The parts are washed to remove mold release, cut off the casting blocks and bonded with super glue. Sand with respiratory protection.
