Troy Molitor Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 An earlier Yak-7B or Yak-9 to the Yak-9M/T I just ordered today. The LaGG-3 or La-5, La-5FN would also be brilliant. coogrfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of nicely documented USN/USMC livery schemes for the type, and YW-decals has done a fine job of replicating the markings in 1/32.

Silver Wings Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Guys, which documentation currently available on the market would you recommend for the F3F ? ivanmoe and Stefano 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Silver Wings Senior Member LSP Sponsors 726 642 posts Gender:Male Author Posted August 5, 2020 Hi Guys, We are currently focusing on the new projects, hence not investing in the Finnish Fokker, however we have recently started researching the documentation in order to determine if we could release such Fokker in the nearest future So has this dropped off the map Simon ???

Silver Wings Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Given that some Ukrainian company is following exactly our lead when it comes to topic selection, it would be too risky to invest in such a project. We are sorry... mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the best one: https://www.amazon.com/Grumman-F2F-F3F-Civil-Variants/dp/1734972726 There are other offerings, from Squadron Publications and Profile Publications, but they are brief, thin on documentation and prone to errors in the text/descriptions. Yellow-Wings decals is an authority on the livery aspects of all three types, F3F-1/2/3. Accurate Miniatures did very nice F3F-1 and F3F-2. I mention its offerings because looking them over would give you an idea as to what the challenges might be of doing both models, as the differences go well beyond the markings. Thanks for giving "the flying beer-bottle" a look! -Moe Silver Wings and Stefano 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is called minimiziong operational risk by making strategically prudent decisions. In such a situation we simply prefer to focus on new projects rather than conversions of old ones Have a great weekend!

CShanne Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 This is probably not too popular but I would really love to see an updated F4B4 or P-12 (I prefer the navy version). ivanmoe and Stefano 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnarg Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 The F3F planes have a real possibility, given the age of the Revell/Monogram alternatives. In the same field, the SBC-3 or -4 biplanes look really nice and of course, I am always hoping for any Shrike (A-8 or A-12) or a Martin B-10B. But given your location, why not a PZL P-23? A Karas would be amazing. You could also do something really crazy like a Vindicator... not a spectacularly successful plane, but looks good with yellow wings.

Tnarg More excellent suggestions, so thank you Tnarg! Particularly interested in the Curtiss SBC-3/4, as it's never been done in 1/32. Edit: Some period color pics of the Helldiver...

Tnarg Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I believe the SBC-4 version is one of the Combat Models vac kits, but it would be so much more amazing in resin or dare we suggest, injection? The commander's plane from Enterprise with the large blue stripes and blue triangle on top wing plus the yellow wings make a spectacular subject. Thanks for some other amazing photos. This plane really catches your eye. Tnarg ivanmoe and Stefano 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
