Redstaff Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Hi Patrice Please add me to the list for this one please, this should drop in nicely after I finish the Hunter in the 60s nato/warsaw pact GB I'll have a mooch round for something that catches my eye or I could do one of the Frog kits I was going to do for the frog tribute GB (A6A and Wildcat iv) if I can't find anything Ian 1

Grey Beema Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 I had better go and buy something. I think the Tamiya 1/48 F4F-4 that I want to convert to Martlet MkIV FN112/Ø7*D of 888 NAS HMS Formidable Operation Torch Nov '42. Which will fit into my FAA Aces collection as it was flown by LT D M Jeram. All I have got to do is figure out the dimensions of the short cord Martlet cowling... I think the rest is quite straight forward.. 2
Pierpaolo Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) I am always been a fan of Grumman (notice my interests in the profile). I have 33 suitable kits to choose from Edited September 27, 2018 by Pierpaolo correction 2

vppelt68 Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 You know, even Enzo wouldn't dare to suggest his usual line, with 33 kits to choose from! V-P 2 2
Pierpaolo Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 I'm scared to ask what "his usual line" is 😨 1 2
vppelt68 Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 Haha once you´ve seen it, you´ll remember it... . V-P 1
Paul J Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 My desire to build is returning ... despite a total loss of kit building... maybe due to the hot weather... , and I now have the desire to have a bash at something. In this case the Grumman Avenger beckons. I have got the double boxing of the Hasegawa kit and Ventura decals for an RNZAF scheme. So if I may I'd like to join in. 1

Good morning Paul J Very good news .. Of course you can join in an Avenger in RNZAF scheme will be very interesting Cheers Patrice Edited September 28, 2018 by TEMPESTMK5 1
Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 I absolutely agree with Patrice. I think an RNZAF Avenger would be an excellent choice.
IanHx Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 Think I can find a few Grumman aircraft in the stash... just need to decide between F11F, Mohawk, Hawkeye, X-29 ...

Paul J Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 My entry: Kits and the Ventura decals for the TBM-1C Not sure what to do with the TBM-3. Time and finishing this one permitting, I may also enter my Eduard Hellcat that no one wants to buy....??? 3
almac Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Evening all. I’d forgot about this till I got the email reminder. Having not put scalpel to plastic for a year I’m hoping to find my mojo with this GB. I’ve got 11 Grumman types to choose from but I’m thinking about an Argentinian f9f. Cheers Allan 2

Good morning Paul May I suggest you to build the TBM-1C in RNZAF markings and the TBM-3 in Us Navy markings or as Enzo would say "build them both you know you want to" 😉 Cheers Patrice 10 hours ago, almac said: Evening all.

Threadbear Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Having not completed a group build, I am going to give this one a go with a Bearcat in 1/48th using the Hobbyboss kit. 2
gingerbob Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Oh dear, here comes another one! I'm another in the "xx suitable kits" club (it would be interesting to know, but I'm nowhere near that organized). It won't be a Tamiya Tomcat, I can at least be sure of that. Might be a good excuse to (finally) build an Acc Min F3F. Then there's that Tigercat. Hmm, let's see... FF, F3F (wish I had an F2F), F4F, F5F, F6F, F7F, F8F, F9F (ooh, hello Two-gar?), TBF (or M), Duck, Widgeon, Goose... 2

Col. Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 A good line-up of Grumman products indeed @gingerbob

gingerbob Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Oh, don't worry, I already know! Of course, were I feeling more financially secure, I'd use this GB as an excuse to buy something I DON'T have yet (in 48th), like an Albatross or Stoof! Oh dear, just remembered the Trumpeter 32nd Bearcat. 1
