A couple of F3F's and a P-36 or 2 will really enhance this arrangement. Note the yellow striping in the sweet little F2A below, nice HM detail. Also, the zinc chromate in the engine firewall, how did they know we'd use a flash to look in there...

Nice to see you have all your pre war aircraft displayed together, looks great.

I hope we do get this scheme!

I would be game for one of these, remember making the Monogram kit of this as a kid (Had neat retracts too.).

Sorry JP and yes it is a word that refers to 'being pedantic' and can be found in some of the 'finer' dictionaries ... who said this forum can't be educational? .

Not a clue!!! Someone must have said such a thing at one time or another ... didn't they???

By the way, I have to admit that I do prefer the 'reddish' yellow although all the 'yellow-wings' look good ...

It's actually called "orange yellow" Cardo. Now we have come full circle!

Nothing wrong with helping others expand their vocabulary. What will next weeks word be?
