F7F Tigercat (Simple)
I decided to challenge myself today and make a replica of one of my favorite WW2 airplanes - The F7F Tigercat.
It's not the most accurate or has the greatest of detail. This is simply meant to be a quick build for the holiday.
Anyway, with this being my last post for the year I just want to wish you all an amazing Christmas, and an even better new year when it comes.
Stay safe, take care of yourself and those you love, keep improving - never make excuses, and remember to live in the moment.
It's been fun. See you around.

Details on the F7F Tigercat:
See wiki link
"The Grumman F7F Tigercat is a heavy fighter aircraft that served with the United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) from late in World War II until 1954. It was the first twin-engine fighter to be deployed by the USN. While the Tigercat was delivered too late to see combat in World War II, it did serve in reconnaissance roles. The Tigercat primarily saw action as a night fighter and attack aircraft during the Korean War."
"Designed initially for service on Midway-class aircraft carriers, early production F7Fs were land-based variants. The type was too large to operate from older and smaller carriers, and only a late variant (F7F-4N) was certified for carrier service."
