Title: Got it down to three models! Photos Added!
Post by: Avaiojet on September 03, 2014, 04:08:55 PM
Yes, I've given more thought to this than I should, I know that.

However, when it comes to decisions for myself, I'm not good at it.

I'm almost sure as to which model I will take on next? Almost sure.

 All three of these models do need plenty of work to complete, only thing they have in common is they are framed or almost framed in the bare bones.

Here they are.

Sterling Stearman. Wingspan 64", biplane

Modified Paige Aviation, Gee Bee Z, wingspan 55"

Aristocraft, Grumman F3F-1, Wingspan 52", biplane

One of these models will be my next project.

Which one do you think I should work on next?

Edited for photos. Worth a thousand words.  ;D

The Grumman F 3 F, but only if you finish it in Fighting Two colors.  VF 2, "The Fighting Chiefs".  An all enisted fighter squadron with very few officers. D>K

Ty,

I dug up some of my paper work.

I believe, and I could be very wrong, but the VF-2 were F2F's. Flew off the U.S.S. Lexington.

That's the only information I could get.

"Grumman in action Biplane Fighters."
squadron/signal publications

FYI. I have two Aristocraft kits of the F3F. One framed, and one partly framed.

AND, another kit, NIB!

Good choice for a scale model.  H^^
