RE: Giant Scale Twins F7F Tigercat

Noah,
thanks for the info.

Bummer, it'll cost me about...

RE: Giant Scale Twins F7F Tigercat

Yo Noah,
Looks good, dude.
That'll take up some room in the trailer!

Where'd you get the silicone and teflon connectors?

I put two large robart cylinders in my Ziroli P-61 to handle the...

RE: Giant Scale Twins F7F Tigercat

It appears that you want to apply a large decal for the green strips.
If so, it may be best to mask and paint these areas as it seems like a decal that large would not likely have the same...

RE: Giant Scale Twins F7F Tigercat

Noah,
You're right on the piano hinge following a slight curve on the nose.
Actually, it works better in that that slight bind helps keep the door closed (and open).
You could also just use two...

RE: Giant Scale Twins F7F Tigercat

My yellow P-38 had the same problem with the nose servo.
I just added a door: access to nose servo as well as switch/battery access.
