ghodges Posted March 31, 2014 Report Posted March 31, 2014 Great build of a classic plane and kit Mark! By the way, Lonestar models is soon to release a conversion kit to backdate THAT kit back to the earlier F-11C-2 (or BFC) with the fixed gear. I may have to spring for that one myself, as the Goshawk is one of my absolutely favorite golden age planes! GIL
aAzZ09 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Posted March 31, 2014 Many thanks Gil. I'm interested in the F11C-2 myself. If you see the conversion kit before I do, let me know. I'll be on the lookout. Again, many thanks, Mark
rcflyer Posted March 31, 2014 Report Posted March 31, 2014 I can only hope that one day I can turn out as great looking a kit as that.All of you on here are truly talented.
BigSkyModeler Posted March 31, 2014 Report Posted March 31, 2014 Very nice model. I have a couple of float planes waiting to be built. I ordered a couple of Airfix kits from Squadron. A Kingfisher and a Grumman Duck (both in 1/72 scale). I have an Accurate Miniatures 1/48 F3F-2 partially built. It was one of the first kits I started when I got back into modeling. I really was not ready for such an undertaking. The plane is not beyond hope and I am sure I can finish it.
mquan Posted March 31, 2014 Report Posted March 31, 2014 Beautiful Mark, even after all these years! You should come up for the NCT ScaleFest contest as Lonestar Models is one of our vendors. It would be great to catch up with friends as well!
jcorley Posted March 31, 2014 Report Posted March 31, 2014 And on a somewhat related note, I saw the kit has been reissued with a $55 pricetag! Why? Same markings and boxart. There are plenty to be had at local shows for $10-20. Maybe I need to jack the one I have up to $40 so I can show how much cheaper is it off retail. Hmmmmmm
aAzZ09 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Posted April 1, 2014 Many thanks guys! I owe all of you credit. I have been surrounded by great talent here at IPMS for the last 34 years and I guess it rubbed off on me. Best, Mark
