Re: F3F "Pussycat"

The pre-pros look awesome! I may have to get many versions of this model. I assume the fuselage is mostly metal. Do the colors signify the various materials used? Does green signify PLASTIC ?

Re: F3F "Pussycat"

Nice to see some updated photos of the F3Fs. Both variants look pretty good and looking forward to their release.

Already have the first one on pre order, and probably will snag one of each paint scheme they put out.

Re: F3F "Pussycat"

William,
Thanks for sharing these pictures with us. It is fun and exciting to watch the development of a new model, but rarely are we given the opportunity. The pre-pros look very, very nice.

Re: F3F "Pussycat"

Lots of interest in this thread... 98 posts and 2700 views in less than three weeks. I hope this is an indication of the interest level for this release, and generally, new 1:48 models.

Lots of F3F liveries could be done, especially with the toolings for the three variants.

However, I do hope those inboard center section struts can be attached without those screws, or a least recessed screws that are plugged. As the screws are now, they would be highly visible.

Hi Chris,

The green are also metal, our staff just sprayed them green. There will be little content of plastic as I have examined.
