Perhaps also a Bleriot - or is that my memory going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This question may have been asked before, am I correct in thinking Frog produced a Ryan monoplane and the Alcock and Brown Vimy? I built both of them in my youth but can't remember if they were Frog or another firm. I'm probably wrong......its an age thing memory not what it was and all that. Steve Check out the Frog squad GB Steve examples of both are being built. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Couldn't have put it better myself ! If you have a Frog / Novo / or spawn of these, please join the Frog Squad GB you will have a lot of fun with all the other builders and supporters of these great kits.

Eric Mc Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 FROG had a series called "Trailblazers" which featured important aircraft in aviation history. As well as the aircraft listed above, also included was Amy Johnson's DH60, the Bristol 138, The DH88, the Fairey Delta 2 and the Gloster E28/39.

Here are the Ryan NYP ''Spirit of St Louis'' (unfortunately not as a Trail Blazers) and the Vickers Vimy from my collection. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aardvark Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I recently took a walk on the Internet at the virtual museum https://artstudio-3d.ru/www-77/mai/index.html of the Moscow Aviation Institute https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_Aviation_Institute and what do you think I saw there in the museum’s model collection? Right - NOVO(FROG): Of course, there are models of our own production but NOVO (FROG) models in famous aviation institute are something! B.R.

jeaton01 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) Here's a Hotspur II, built mostly from an Airlines kit, except for a few parts from a Novo kit, a seat and the tail skid. markings are painted on except for the fuselage roundel from the spares and the serial, made with a laser printer. Nice hard silver plastic. The Novo lit is a very poor rendition with soft plastic and utterly useless decals. Modeled after a photo of BT551 I found on the net. Parked next to a CG-4A in the display case, waiting for a Hamilcar. Edited December 26, 2019 by jeaton01 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt-92 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Imagine finding out thanks to this thread that your paint mule is actually a FROG/NOVO Caravelle... It's box & other parts have gone in the mists of time, just the basic airframe sans engines. I did find that AviationMegastore near Schiphol currently has a set of ArkModel kits - former FROG. Some plastic fondling with a Spitfire XVI & V-1 did occur... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwin Parks Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Bit off the piste, but does anyone have any idea where I can find examples of the Frog Ready to Fly aircraft, particularly the Intercepter series in foreign markings. This is a real return to childhood since when i was about 7/8 years old I really wanted one but never actually managed it. A few weeks ago I saw one on eBay and am rehooked!

You are not supposed to keep secrets from SWMBO... I am sure nobody else does! Great kits you got! I have the Frog Blenheim Mk I, and I dare say that the decals are miles away from the ones made in Soviet Soyouz. But it is still a great kit. Have a lot of fun! If your better half catches you out, tell her I sent them to you. Your nose cannot grow any longer. Cheers. JR 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 The big problem with FROG kits, is that once they get under your skin, it is awfully difficult to get rid of the need to build more... I recently built the Morane Saulnier 406, and I just cannot wait to get cracking with another one. This was a simple kit that gave me a lot of pleasure building.

Bigglesof266 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) Loving this thread. I built that FROG Dewoitine D.520 in 1967, and the Morane-Saulnier M.S. 406 in 1970. Amazing how a pleasurable memory of so long ago can be remembered to the year and even related to an approximate time by season or other coincident factor, when these days I can hardly recall what I walked into the next room for by the time I get there! Childhood nostalgia is so envious of the relative availability of old FROG kits in the UK/EU. FROG kits are so very rarely seen in AU. Where extant here, presumably inherited from a deceased estate stash, invariably they are on eBay at utterly extortionate pricing.

philp Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 The only FROG kits that have survived are the Me-110G and the V-1. The 110 has seen better days and the V-1 is just painted black but is still complete. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
