1/48 Grumman F3F-2

Hi Everyone,

Just put the finishing touches on this one ? This is the Academy (ex- Accurate Miniatures) kit of this bird. Very nice kit, didn't even know that they had reissued it. Built OOB. All colors by Tamiya.

Cheers

Great looking F3F.  Really well done.  I built a Stearman N2S a while back, but I couldn't get a hang of the rigging.  Yours looks great.

Thanks Jim! The rigging in this kit is included as PE, not my favorite way of doing it, but in this scale it seems to work okay.

Beautiful.  I've been  looking for one of these kits.

Jetz muss ich sagen “Ausgezeichnett”!

I built this same kit when it was first released by Accurate Miniatures. I found it to be an excellent kit although I did have to fettle around with the photo etch rigging to get it as straight as possible. It’s not perfect but it’s close.  
 
I hope you don’t mind me showing you a photo of mine in your thread. If so, please let me know, I’ll delete it.

Cheers,    
Wolf
