About product

The real subject

The Grumman F7F Tigercat was a twin-engined carrier fighter of American manufacture created at the close of the Second World War. It did not make it into the fighting then and found fame only in postwar service with the Marine Corps, where it became a fast and heavily armed machine for night operations and attacks on ground targets. Its layout with two radial engines and a high-set cockpit gives it a look unlike any other propeller fighter.

What the kit offers

It is an injection-molded kit in 1:72 scale, supplied unassembled and unpainted. The package is listed as 2 in 1.

  • 1:72 scale, a twin-engined carrier fighter
  • injection-molded plastic parts on sprues
  • a package designated as 2 in 1
  • supplied unassembled and unpainted

Building and painting tips

On a twin-engined aircraft it pays to spend time seating the engine nacelles, because their symmetry determines the final impression of the whole model. Dry-fit the wing and the nacelles and glue them section by section, so that room for correction remains. The nose landing gear leg tends to be loaded on this layout, so it is a good idea to check the need for nose weight in advance. The dark gloss finish of naval machines forgives little; thin, well covered coats serve best.

Who it is for

The set is for modelers who feel up to a twin-engined aircraft and want a less usual type. Paints, glue and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The package is listed under that designation by the manufacturer. The particular range of parts and the building options are given in the instructions enclosed with the kit.

No, it is an injection-molded kit to be glued together and sprayed.

It calls for more care in aligning the nacelles and the wing. Dry-fitting the parts saves a great deal of work here.

On an aircraft with a nose landing gear that tends to be usual. It pays to check before you close the fuselage up.
