Harold Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) I did some grooved and diamond tread TBM wheels some time ago. After looking at more photos, I think the back side isn't all that off. I will have to do some work on the spokes though.

Harold Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I re-did the front of the hubs. Now they look a bit more like the prototypes. I will have to see what I can do for the nose wheel now. Derek B, Kagemusha and Radders 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that how it works...One of us has to go to great lengths to make a vac kit and make goodies for it. Then have several about half done and WHAM! At least two will be announced in injected form.

I have the CM vac kit, and will be buying a SP miniatures vac kit as well. And of COURSE I will need an IM kit of the F7F for SURE as well.....................and of course it wont be a perfect kit, so Ill need AM for it as well!

I think there should be an IM company called "Murphey's Law"-they'll be rich guys by beating us with such projects Harold and Jack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I got to see Bossman fly at the Reno air races and it was amazing. Would love to do a Tigercat. Would rather there was a IM kit, but will buy the vac kit if one isn't coming. Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you check your drawings and see if it has the nose wheel size listed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
