pjman792 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Here’s my attempt at the 1:48 Accurate Miniatures Grumman F3F-1, which I completed several years ago. It’s built straight from the box, aside from the antenna wires I added. The kit is a real jewel, and goes together beautifully – any flaws are mine alone. Accurate Miniatures was my favorite model company, and I really hate they went under. The kits they produced were – and still are – some of the best examples of their kind ever made. I finished it with kit decals to depict an F3F-1 from Fighting Four deployed aboard USS Ranger in 1937. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Fox Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 That's a beauty, not many models can take that sort of close up without showing flaws. I absolutely concur with your analysis on Accurate Miniatures first incarnation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
