Paul J Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I thought I had shown interest but can't see me on the list so Yes I am up for it. Have a couple Hasegawa Avengers and RNZAF decals for it/them( boxed set of two) plus an Eduard Hellcat. (Is that enough for now?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) @TEMPESTMK5... Patrice if you need help i can do that. Id have to brush up on the lesser known grummans from the ‘30’s. However I'm pretty familiar with WW2 on. Since im in on this build as a participant might be a good thing to get experience.

Enzo the Magnificent Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I've just had a look in The Stash. I have numerous Hellcats and Wildcats, plus a couple of Tomcats. However, I think I will go with the F9F Cougar. It this case, probably three builds: the fighter version, the photo recce version and the two seat trainer version. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good morning Enzo You can build your Hellcat and Wildcat for the Carrier Gb and keep the Cougar for this Gb .. Best regards Patrice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Might be tempted to build this https://flic.kr/p/21DoQN3 If that's ok it just gives me 10 months to remove it from the backing sheet before the GB starts ! cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it was the same blue in the Pacific Theatre fighters, but I have been using Humbrol 104 for the darker on my last couple of Pacific War aircraft, Helldiver and Hellcat in the Matchbox GB The colour you are after is FS15042, Humbrol used to have this colour as Sea Blue (Hu181). I saw in another thread that someone had used Humbrol 15 on their USN build for a Bearcat in the same colour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do yourself a favour Pat. Get to Sovereign Hobbies site and order a bunch of their enamels, you'll Thank me for it, believe me. They're like a trip in time back to Humbrol Authentics and then some. Us enamel users need a break every so often especially when you're building vacforms and resin kits.... While I'm here has anybody any recommendations for a 1/48 Avenger?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest Federal Standard colour to each of the 3 distinctly different WW2 era ANA6xx Sea Blues used by the US Navy on WW2 aircraft is FSx5042, but it doesn't actually exactly match any of them and it didn't exist until 1956. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMP2 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Flicking through the GB Calendar I spotted this along with a rather predictable Hasegawa 1/48 F-14 in the stash with an equally predictable aftermarket decal sheet and some resin boomy bits. Hoping to get a bit more done this year, so, if youll have me, please dont shoot me for my obvious choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
