Darren Roberts Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) I need some help gathering some kits. I've been asked to build the history of VFA-211 for their squadron space at Oceana, but I don't have all the kits in my stash. I picked up a couple on eBay, but the prices are bit more than I'd like to pay. I'm in need of the following kits: 1/48 Trumpeter F9F-2 Panther (I could make due with a Monogram F9F-5) 1/48 Monogram A-1 Skyraider 1/48 F4U-4 Corsair (Monogram, Hasegawa, or Hobbyboss) Decals for VF-211 F-8 Crusader If you've got any of these that you'd be willing to part with, please PM and we can work something out. Thanks! Edited April 12, 2017 by Darren Roberts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rex Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 History of VFA-211 should be easy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,you only need one kit. Oh, sorry, you mean when they were VF-211 and VF-24 before that?? LOL,,,,,sorry, couldn't resist, bud. Hope you find some help with this,,,,,,,,I can't be of any use, I only have 1/72 stuff. Do you have the aircraft between the Panther and the Crusader already? (thinking there is a Demon in there, possibly a Banshee?, I would have to check, VF-24 stuff, anyway) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SonyKen Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Darren, If the Academy F4U-4B would do for your build, then PM me your address and I will have it off in the mail to you. HTH! Best Regards, Ken Bailey (SonyKen) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I can probably help with the VF-211 decals for an F-8 Crusader. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darren Roberts Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 I'd like to thank everyone for their help. I believe I have everything I need to complete the history. Just so you know, I'm not getting paid to do this. It's something I love to do and it's a "thank you" for what they do. I'll post pictures of the completed set when I'm all done.
