Well the F3F rounded out my delivery from Pete's today and have to say it is a real gem. I had originally only intended on getting the first, but after seeing this one have to get the second too (Already have the third on order.) The HM Grumman F3F-1 is an impressive model and really liked how they handled the landing gear positions. Rigging on this one was real nice and only draw back is slight bit of a bow in starboard stabilizer strut. This is a fine looking model, and I am looking forward to more biplanes from the folks at Hobby Master.

Very nice CC. I'll be trying not to get one of these. I just can't keep up!

I like the way they did that landing gear...
Cool pics.

Is it safe to assume you have this sitting on the shelf next to the VF-3 F2A-2? That's were mine is going.

I wish this could have been made in 1/72. It would have gone well with my other Tomcatter models. Gotta love that Felix.

Yep, that would be correct.

More great pics, CC. BTW, in reference to the third F3F--did that bird actually see any combat?

While never seeing combat, the F3F series was responsible for training the generation of pilots that would later lead combat squadrons in WWII.

Thank you, Starman.
