JOCKNEY Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Following the recent hugely popular posting elsewhere on BM, see link below. I thought it only right and proper that we channel all that enthusiasm for Frog kits into a Group Build. I had a look to see if this has been done already but couldn't find one.

Therefore if like many of us you grew up enjoying Frog kits or all the re-releases that came afterwards Novo, Revell etc this is for you. Given the recent amazing Matchbox II, and Classic Airfix Group Builds it will be great to see as many of the range as possible getting built.

Ray S Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hello Pat, I would like to be included too please, I have a couple of Novo Trainers:- the Miles Magister I and the Percival Proctor IV. I just need to check out alternative transfer for them, as I have read that the Novo ones are, shall we say, not all that good! Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about that, I would have a look at Scalemates, you are bound to find something you already have in the stash but didn't realise if was a Frog kit previously, the Russian Frog / Novo copy's are very cheap but the decals can be a mission impossible, unless someone on here has a magic answer ! cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Great choices Ray I built the Novo Proctor a while back which was great, but the decals disintegrated upon contact with water as you describe. I have heard that coating with clear varnish can work or can you scan them and reprint on decal paper. Neither of which I have tried ! Hopefully someone reading this will know what to do to rescue those of us with Novo kits cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy hell, that's more than I realised, don't expect them all to surface. Steve. Oh, & a Proctor (just saw your last post) & a couple of Miles Masters, one destined to be encumbered with an Airfix Blenheim engine as a Mk II 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
