bombernut Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Hi Jaro, Well, I think this deserves a comment. Not the prettiest of aircraft, but I think you've done it justice, especially as it's your first biplane. Had a look at your BT-1 and SB2U-1 and like the pair of them as well. I'll look forward to seeing your next USN yellow wing. What have you got on the workbench now? Cheers, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vh-bob Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Jaro, A lovely build of an interesting type. I have all three of these models but have not been brave enough to build them. You have encouraged me to give them a go. Well Done, Trev. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Very nice! I always liked FF1 - just to tell that in 1977 I made out if scratch a model of FF-1 from Spanish Civil War. It is still on my shelfs, but now - when a SH kit appeared I became in a kind of difficult position (like also in case of my IK-2 and Curtiss F2BC - which I made also about 1980 out of scratch). Present kits are far better that what I did by myself....It is so temptating to do it from kit again. Then I will have to throw away my old build. Your presentation recall me this dilema...

polo1112 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I always loved these "barrel like" little biplane fighters from Grumman. Inclusive FiFi, F2F and F3F. They are so colourful ! Your model looks really fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
