smutz Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Hi guys, about to start my 32nd scale Trumpeter F6F-5N & discovered the wheels/tyres look anorexic are there any aftermarket replacements available, I've looked at True details & Mastercasters no luck thought I'd got lucky with Heritage but the set they do have a diamond pattern tread & the later cats seem to have had an almost smooth pattern tyre. Thanks Andy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Youngtiger1 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Andy, Not to take away from your point on your thread but I was wondering if you are anyone else can explain the difference between the F6F3 and F6F5? I'm thinking about getting one myself. I normally build jets and I'm not up to speed with WW2 props. TIA Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TIAMike Hi Mike, there's probably a lot more guys on here better qualified with all the differences, but as far as I know the biggest is the 3's had the glazing behind the pilot & the later 5 it was blanked off, not sure if only the 5's had the ability to carry under wing rockets . HTH Andy. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
