stevej60 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hi folk's I was never really into Frog kit's as a youngster they were not as ready available as Airfix or Matchbox so this is the first of a half dozen Frog kit's I'll be working through in the next couple of month's.It was still sealed when I found it at a local Sunday Market for a tenner Decal's were poor but I managed to save the serials and codes and after a few hairy moment's got them on.NV427 was with 404 Sqn RCAF and was lost on a mission over Norway on 8th March 1945 sadly with the loss of her crew.As will the other's I'm simply building OOB as we used to hopefully with a better paint job and no gluey fingerprints than years ago!Thank's for looking in.Tempest,Typhoon,Blenhiem,Boston and Hunter to follow. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russ c Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Great job on that old kit Steve (again) . Like you, I never saw many Frog kits either, Airfix then Matchbox and then Monogram and Revell. Looks a bit better than the Airfix one that I built loads of as a kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Mc Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Nice build. I'm a big FROG fan. My most recent build (completed yesterday) was a FROG Corsair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Now you are talking Steve! What can I say? This Beau looks plain impressive and you have done this old plastic proud. Could it be that the gluey fingerprints are on the underside? Great show. JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Very nice result Frankly speaking I though that OOB build of Frog Beau will get not so good result. I remember from late 1970-ties that we (our group of modellers in Krakow) considered Frog the best one Beau regarding shapes (compare to old Airfix and Matchbox - which were the only alternative these days). The main problems in Frog Beau was in too small engines diameter and (as I remember) a bit too long nose and canopy. Some almost 20 years ago I was comparing Frog Beau with drawings in Aviation Archives series booklet and those were two main fault beside some lack of enough detailing of air intakes, landing lamp etc..
