|  Re: Pics: HA7301 - Grumman F3F-1, "Flying Barrel", USN VF-3 Not a beautiful 'swan' but well worth collecting! Amazing how fast HM manages to surprise us with their fine creations. I was still enjoying that wonderful F4 and now this one.... This is seriously going to hurt my bank account! Thanks for the pictures. | |||||||||||||

The pilot is opitonal -- the bombs come preattached though they look easy enough to remove if one wants... And sorry I have trouble putting "ugly" and this model in the same sentence fellas  | ||||||||||||||

| Re: Pics: HA7301 - Grumman F3F-1, "Flying Barrel", USN VF-3 Pappy, does it have optional gear-up/down configurations? I assume so. How well/easy do the options swap/fit? How's the canopy fit in the closed position? | |||||||||||||

More info to come later when I get to the full review -- but yes, moderately easily, and the canopy has a tendency to ride up a bit in the closed position... | ||||||||||||||

I got a pretty good price from Glen at Racers Den, but he is, of course, in the States. Give him a PM and ask! | ||||||||||||||
