Troy Molitor 4,195 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 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 post Share on other sites

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.

MikeMaben 8,205 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 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 762 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 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 post Share on other sites

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 post Share on other sites

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 51 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 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 post Share on other sites

Tnarg 1,649 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 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...
