[TEASER] US Navy Prototype- Grumman F4F-3S 'Wildcatfish"

21.6k F4f879  3.9 years ago

Hey guys! I've been working on a floatplane version of Grumman's F4F Wildcat (fitting, isn't it?) for @BogdanX's Pacific War Challenge. I've gotten lots of advice and support from @EpicPigster1 during development, so big thanks to him!

This particular aircraft was just a single prototype constructed in 1943 and was not used much due to the already poor handling coupled with hundreds of pounds of floats. However, I think it looks super neat (piggy and I made one together years ago).

This one has just under 700 parts and has a nice little cockpit and realistic flight performance.
