Darren Roberts Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) I had some fun with an out of box nostalgia build of Monogram’s old 1/32 scale F3F-3. The landing gear even works! I used Yellow Wings decals, Mr. Color and Alclad paints, and EZ Line for the rigging. As I was rigging it, I remembered why I don’t like doing biplanes! The markings are for VF-5 off the Yorktown (red tail). It’s the 4th section, #10 plane (black cowl, fuselage stripe, and wing chevrons).

Falconxlvi Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 That’s awesome Darren! You definitely know how to get the most out of the old Monogram old kits! Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Darren, What a truly super build that for me is a walk down memory lane. You sir have done that old Monogram kit justice for sure. The finish is not only extraordinarily well done, , but with the all one tonnage of the Aluminum it really represents that fact that the aircraft was painted Aluminum dope, not left in a natural metal state. As for your rigging, it looks darn perfect, but just think how much fun you would have had if it was double rigged Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
