Frog Squad GB Chat

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.

 

Cheers Pat

Hmmm if memory serves isn't the Revellogram A-7 corsair II an old frog kit ? If so im in with that. 

 

Hmmm bit of bad luck i guess. That A-7 was an Aurora product. I will see if i can find something else to use.

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!

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 !

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  :pray:

Come on Steve, no teasing what lurks within the stash ? :door:

cheers Pat

There is at least one each Frog Wildcat, Hellcat, Corsait, Avenger & Swordfish (x2?), Novo (maybe, anonymous in bag with Cyrillic instructions) Sea Vixen (x2) one to go with resin FAW.1 conversion, Wyvern plus old one in bits to go with resin T.2(?) conversion, Wessex one Frog, one spawn, Hornet, Firefly, 1 original & 2 spawn, spawn Barracuda &  Revell Blenheim Mk ! 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

Me too, where’s that Vimy....

That's a surprise, I had you down for a Beaufort !

Lots of people have the Vimy, if you do half as good a job on that as you did your recent Iris we are in for a treat  :)

I think lots of us have more Frog / Novo kits than we realise, now all you have to do is choose !
