Note that this body shell is identical between each of the F-series models the company released. Most of the models had a hump in the center. This was due to the shell being pulled from the die before it was fully cured.

Notes:
This was a special project by customers' request. These models were possible as a "tack-on" project to the River Raisin's FT project. The customer was able to add details to make this model into an F3B or F7B unit. As a side note, an extra 100 drive units were manufactured as part of the FT project as well, allowing modelers, whom had bought the Overland Models' version of the F3 or F7 units, to replace those models' rather noisy drive mechanisms with the newer ones with which the FT models were equipped.
