Grumman F7F Tigercat


Recommended Posts

Cheers! I hope to be painting the airframe next week.

 

Another five and a half hours riveting today, plus a shopping trip for bits. The outer wing panels took about 90 minutes each to complete. They had additional stringers added to match the inner wing panel, and contain around 2500 rivets each!

 

The tailplane was also riveted today. Both outer panels and the tail now need a light rub down with the Scotch pad and are ready for painting.
