AMT’s 1/48 F7F-3N Tigercat
Well, not only do I love vintage jets, but I'm also a s****r for anything with a round engine! (Hearing EAA's B-17 flying around yesterday got me thinking about it again!)I think the Tigercat ranks among the best looking of them all! [...]
1/48 Grumman F7F-3(N) Tigercat, USMC, Korean War
This is AMT/Ertl's original boxing of the Tigercat, the tools now owned by Italeri and since reboxed under their brand with minor improvements. The AMT kit is notorious for the awful tires used which would literally melt the wheels after [...]
AMT 1/48 F7F Tiger cat
OK, here we go again. Let's see if this works.
I built this kit many years ago and found it to be an excellent kit. The only problem I found with it was the rubber tires. I sure that anyone that had built one of these or similar had a [...]
1/48 F7F Tigercat, Spurious paint scheme
Here is a 1/48 F7F that I did a while back. It was a first attempt to replicate the "blurred prop" effect seen in photos of real aircraft. I think it turned out well.
The blurred props were done with clear plastic that was masked [...]

It is a 1/48 scale AMT/ERTL F7F-3 Tigercat mostly out of the box,and [...]
A Grumman formation to end all Grumman formations
Back in 1997, various air museums were having "Grumman flights." Out at Planes of Fame, they pulled off the Grumman Flight to end all Grumman Flights: F3F-2, FM-2, F6F-5, F7F-3, F8F-2, and TBM-3. I got this shot out of the [...]
1/48 AMT Tigercat F7F-3N
Hi again- sorry for the multiple posts tonight- I only have now to do these.
I took the AMT F7F, converted it using the HiTech resin parts, Obscureco props (the kit ones are, well.. backwards), and Squadron canopies, and finally metal [...]
48th Scale War Weary Tigercat
Yes it did look that bad and I have the photo I used for reference. I started out looking for a different way to do a black scheme and found this shot in Squadron's book on the Tigercat. I added a resin nose, drilling it out to accept [...]
