leored · 08-05-2009, 08:14 PM

Hi
I want to scratchbuild the F4F wildcat using only aluminium. I am searching for some projects, drawings or cutaway views that illustrate me how to make the interiors, details and a realistic fulselage and wings.
It is very hard.. I know.. but I hope in someone help.
Best Regards

Looks like over 10 people downloaded it on here and didn't bother to say thanks.
I'll try a re-up.

Hello All,

I don't know if these drawings will help, but here goes. Pardon the quality. There is an unresolved issue with the scanner I am using.
The dimensions were very useful when I built my Wildcats for Combat Flight Simulator.

Have Fun!
- Ivan.

Thanks Merlin, great collection!

Ivan, outstanding stuff!

I am repairing an F4F Wildcat.

I need the roller chain that is used to raise and lower the landing gear. Production of this chain was discontinued some time after WW2.

The chain is designated as 148X1/4 or 5

1/4. I believe these are Diamond Chain Part Numbers.

I can use any amount.

Please advise if you have or know someone who may have some old inventory.

Hey Mr Shelton.
Check your phone numbers.

First, thanks to Ivan for the drawings.
Second: Leored, take a look to the job of Rojas Bazan, a man who makes all aluminium models for museums in EEUU.
I´m working in something alike, but just starting an approach, if I have something to share, wanna post here.

Good luck.
