Giorgio N Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 "In the future we plan to add a plastic frame with the F4F-3 / Martlet Mk III wings." These words have stopped me from buying the quickboost conversion for the Hasegawa kit, I will probably get the F4F-4 but it's the F4F-3 that I'm really looking forward to ! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojtek Bulhak Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Here is my text with story behind a film you can find on youtube: Read full text on armahobbynews link. "In the summer of 1943, the US Navy commenced the wholesale commissioning of Casablanca-class escort carriers. Over the course of the year, fifty-five vessels of the type were put into service. During the formation of this fleet of so-called Jeep Carriers, several dozen composite carrier-borne squadrons (VCs) were trained. The story has been superbly presented in a film shot in September 1943 aboard the carrier USS Nassau..."
