F7F Tiger Cat 1/7 scale Birdi kit ,pics are now up!

[Guest]

Sorry for the long absence Gang hope this atones for it somewhat. I've had to shelve the P-40 build due to a back order of the main gear so I dove into this build. The kit is from 1977 and had some serious damage due to boxes being stacked on it while in storage. The Fuselage is Fiber glass and was bent like a Banana ,took some serious tweaking with clamps and a heat gun but I managed to get it true. The wings and tail feathers are foam core sheeted with 1/32 balsa then clothed and glassed with 1/2 oz cloth. This was built for my friends Dad 80+ years old and still flying RC.

Not sure, try going to media, add media, add to gallery and make a gallery. When editing your thread click the camera icon and the photos will appear in a box. Click then and the BB type code will be added automatically and pictures will show in post when submitted.
