Official FlightLine RC 1600mm F7F-3 Tigercat Thread

Eddie, nice job on the rear cockpit mod! Very creative. I never thought about the second pilot dude, or I would of given one of mine. I bought one of every pilot that MRC had at the time for my F-82. I have a bunch of small pilot busts I'll probably never do anything with. You can have whatever you want, if it's not too late to change the rear pilot out.

I can take canopies back off easily enough, I want to detail cockpits a little more with pilot arms, control stick, throttles, etc.
also will do a forward cockpit conversion option to mount the mini Mobious camera.
thanks for the offer, I'll look at what you have

Congratulations to Pilot Ryan on his new addition! Any news on the next shipment of the F7F-3 Tigercat? My wife has her name on one she tried to order before Christmas for me, but they were out of stock. That bird is going to be a hit! Thanks.

Fast Eddie, really creative, and practical use of materials, very cool! Is it just me, or does that mustached figure kind of look like pilot Ryan ?.... BTW congrats big Daddy!

Actually, he reminds me more of Captain Mike!

just got her put together here are afew pic,s still have more to add but something alittle different. reason for red strip and no.8 is so i can tell if it is coming at me or not lol! where i fly in a valley tree,s all around and on cloudy days this plane being so dark i thought this would help, have had trouble telling if one is going away or coming at you before haa! being in the valley and evergreen tree,s all around need some color on front to help.

Nice work Brandon, I like the name on the shirt, nice touch

[RCjetdude]

That turned out really good Brandon. Very well done.

[Grossman56]

Pretty cool Brandon, hopefully we'll hear Evelyn's reaction!

Thanks everyone :), Now if I can just get my two daughters to take and interest in dad's hobby that would be cool... Lord knows I've tried

I've also done one up as my oldest daughter "Megan" (17) going in my FMS Sbach 342, and working on a third for my youngest daughter "Kylie" (15)

You sir are an extremely talented artist/sculptor. I only wish I could transpose my artistic talents as a musician to your level.

[Brandon Moon]

Thank you :)

[Grossman56]

These are really awesome Brandon!!
I loved the one in the Flying Tiger, but these are so personal, great idea!!

Thanks buddy, Just did another blended one I did for the 1500mm FMS P47 ;)
Ironic I thought ;)...it's a blend of the Freewing Pilot head and the FMS Pilot body (also personalised ;)), and actually turned out pretty good ;):p

[Grossman56]

That's a great idea, I have a few spare pilots who were either kicked out of their cockpits for incompetence or crashed their airplanes and are being reassigned.
One Spitfire pilot got demoted to gunner in CB's Stuka, that'll teach him!

Off with their heads!!

The paint on the wings seems to be odd in layering. I can tell by how the react to Minwax. One wing absorbs much quicker than the other one. The was no variation in application techniques. This is really odd as the wing underside does not react in this manner. I think I can fix with some light sanding with 800 grit paper. Otherwise, she looks good.

[Pheonix]

Brandon, you are the man. What talent. I can hardly put on decals straight! Perhaps things will get better once I get my hands fixed the first of the year.
