EX_Birdgunner Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I WILL be in for this one. As a NAVAIR fan I have lots of Grumman subjects to choose from. The Fujimi E-2C I recently got would be on the top of my list. Followed possibly by one of the 6 Tomcats still not started. Denis Quote Link to post Share on other sites

arnobiz Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I'm in with a Hawkeye or a Tomcat (1/72 of course ;))! Arnaud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 For me its a C-2, a E-2B (just have to figure out how to do the markings) a A-6E and maybe a Tomcat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I have a X-29 plus a few Cats and a Prowler. The moderating is not as much of a big thing as you think. I'm doing my first one now and once you pick a model fpr a guide on how you want to format it your set. You just need to police things for the potential issue and keep things movin in there.

Ro-Gar Hobbies Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I have several Grumman aircraft in the stash, so I will be in on this one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martin_sam_2000 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 further to my earlier post, I will be in, most likely with: E-2 C-2 Avenger and maybe another EA-6B That will be pretty much all the Gumman models in the stash. You can add the albatros and the trcker to the list if they are in my hands by the time this starts up. i will have a TON of new shelf space n my new house to fill up Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites

arnobiz Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Haha let the fun begin on July 1st then :) Just got myself a couple of Hawkeyes in addition to the stash of Tomcats, will have to make a choice (Or not ;) but probably so considering how slow a builder I am :() Arnaud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 We now have two sponsors: Caracal Models A.M.U.R.Reaver I've purchased items from both. I highly recommend them for their excellent products and outstanding service. I'm delighted to have their support! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lee White Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Would the EF-111A be a contender?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Would the EF-111A be a contender?? Well, Grumman was the prime contractor for the EF-111A conversion from the F-111A, and I do recall engineers I worked with in Bethpage would talk about the aircraft, so I would have to say that qualifies.

TomcatFanatic123 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I could be persuaded to poke my head in with a Tomcat of some sort, I'm sure :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like ill have to email Emil over at Skyway Models to send me that 1/32 Raven he has on the shelf. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barneydhc82 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Grumman also built light aircraft for a while, like this "Alley Cat" of mine. Barney Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dnl42 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Grumman also built light aircraft for a while, like this "Alley Cat" of mine. Yes, they did! It would be really cool if some of their light aircraft were built! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rustywelder Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 How do the mods feel about licence produced AC like the TBM or FM wildcat? Either way about 1/4 of my stash are Grummans, I can't wait. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 I'm perfectly happy with an FM or TBM--they were Grumman aircraft built by GM. Not really that different from Grumman's light aircraft. I have the 1/48 Academy nee AM TBM-3 as well as the LSM Firebomber conversion and Draw Decal's Hemet Firebomber decals. I'll probably do an F4F-4, F6F-5, and TBF-1C for the build.

Aaronw Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) I just found out this lives about an hour away, so I think I'll be building a 1/72 Special Hobby F3F-2. I didn't know there were any left in flying condition, so finding out there is one in my local area is extra cool. I already have an F3F-3 in USMC markings though, so won't be doing this particular aircraft. Edited June 22, 2013 by Aaronw Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xavi84 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 3 more days to go until this kicks off! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
