Here are the sprues

The overall detail looks pretty good IMHO. I hope it goes together better the the Revell B-1

OK. Here is the Hobbyboss F4F-4 I will build first. I have the Eduard landing flaps and interior set to spruce it up a little bit.
Theres always the option of attatching it to a base?

kg, Great idea for the Tigercat. Boy, I've got a good start on an AMT F7F-3N in 1/48, but it's going to be a "boring" operational night fighter. From what I have read, this bird was a great flier. Pilots loved it. With its speed and firepower, it would have been interesting how it would have fared chasing down meatballs in the South Pacific. I love the lines on the Tigercat. AMT has molded in very nice, subtle recessed panel lines. It really has some nice details. I'd like to get the Cat to sit on all three feet, but there is a lot of tail back there. By the time I fill that nose with bolts, the landing gear will probably collapse. Oh well, here we go. Rick.
no worries. im always here to help. Except this weekend. going with my dad to ashburton to see the newly arrived meteor. then cookin him and my sister a roast for fathers day. then sunday its clean clean clean for the inspection on tuesday.
Thanks Mike. Cool picture too.
Cheers,

- yat yas!
Ignore my earlier statement. If its a pre 1960's version it would have a Grumman seat in it (see picture) which didnt have an upper ejection handle. If it was Post 1960's then it would have had the MB Mk.V seat. again with no upper ejection handle.
That setup is the grumman ejection training rig. (testing? training? not completely sure.)
In that case it most likley does have one. i shall find out for you.
yep, that would be the critter. Sorry, I should have elaborated better.
Erm, would that be the ejection handle your refering to?
Started the Recon Panther today. I have made some easy progress. All the seam work will be up soon. I forgot to bring my camera today, so no pics. So far, so good. Question though, does any body know if the panther ejection seat had the striped rings up top that are seen on so many ejection seats? I also forgot to bring my Panther in Action book today too. I don't remember seeing that shown in the book though. Any help is appreciated.
As for some different looking tigercats, Lonestarmodels has some neat firebombers, and a drone controller.
Ok Mike ill fix that now. Sorry about that.
Just to clarify i didnt mean navy schemes were boring, just meant if everyone did navy schemes it might start to get a little repetitive.
That could certainly look pretty cool Doog. Would look awesome if someone did an F-14 that way.
Scorpiomikey Nice progress guys. im likin the scheme on that f7f. Cant wait to see more. I hope we get a couple racer mods or something in. Its gonna be a bit boring if everyone does navy schemes lol.

Mikey, I'm still having trouble deciding what to do, however, in my decision making process I broke open the F9F from Monogram in 1/48. It'll be a "boring Navy scheme" however, I'm thinking that I'm going to do a British Hellcat. Maybe two. One will be British Navy. If I do the other, it would have some D-Day markings. I guess we'll see.
Pictures of the Panther when there's something to take pictures of. Don't worry.
Oh, on the front page you have me listed in the build list twice. The first time you've got nothing for me while the second you have me building a 1/48 F4F from Eduard.... There is no F4F from Eduard. It would be an F6F. It's all good though.

I'm planning to try to kick off a Yellow Wing group sometime early next year. Not only pre-WWII, but positing a "what-if" where the scheme was retained as a sort of ceremonial scheme, similar to the F-16 the Texas ANG did up for its 90th anniversary.
Could inspire some fun crossovers with this GB!

Started on my F7F last night, pits are done. I'll update my post a pic this evening. Not sure of a sheme yet, going to look around. Saw a cool pic of a drone controller with a drone under each wing, maybe I can scratch a couple up and find some suitable markings. Hmmmmm
No, I wonder what the rear pit looks like inside??? One thing I found said the screen and canopy are from an F8F, I'll have to dig one up somewhere.

Awesome! In that case sign me up for two 1/48 HobbyBoss F4F-3 Early Wildcats.
Just got started trimming and test fitting the interior parts last night.
So far I'm totally digging the way these kits are engineered.
Dude, thats alot of cats. Should i just put you down for "a whole lot"
DoogsATX Scorpiomikey: crossovers are more than welcome I just started two yellow wing Wildcats for the NMF group build. If crossovers are welcome, could I toss those in with the Hellcat?

Certainly. your more than welcome to bring them over.
Decisions, decisions....
Scorpiomikey crossovers are more than welcome
Richard - that Hobby Boss Hellcat looks very pretty on the sprue! Can't wait to see it come together.
Also can't help noticing several engineering similarities with the Wildcat kits...which so far I'm really digging.
Aah, september 1st.... Fresh from work and ready to roll!
From the look of it i will be having just as much fun with this Hellcat as i had with Hobby Boss'es Wildcats:
Great OOB detail inthere; certainly considering the price i paid for it.
Options for two aircraft are provided:
I will be building McCampbells "Minsy III":
Ok,.... no time for chit chat nomore, im off to the bench aka mancave

It will be a few more days until I get home, but you can put me down for a Monogram 1/72 F8F Bearcat.

Messages sent. sorry if i missed you. and sorry if i sent 2. i have yet to master the knack of mass conversation. both virtual and real

Sweet another entrant. Man you guys are makin this start day PM harder and harder lol. So many to send to. well today is the start day for me. so im sending it out today. you guys are moer than welcome to start now if you want. or you can wait for 1st september in your area if you wish. its up to you.
Think I'm going to have to throw my hat into the ring on this one...
I've got a beautiful Eduard F6F-3 that's been sitting in the stash watching jealously while kits for other GBs cut in line! Maybe this will calm it down and keep it from shivving the La-5...
