Arma Hobby internet shop is taking preorders for 1/48 scale Grumman F2F-1 resin model kit: ASQ48036 Grumman F2F-1 Pro-Set

Kit will be available for delivery on last week of October 2015.

F2F-1 - 1/48 model kit from Attack Squadron is 3D designed model kit and contains resin parts made from 3D printed masters. Straightforward assembly thanks to smart part division and small number of parts. All parts are extremely well detailed including overlapping fuselage sections, tiny rivets and dzus fittings.

Jessica, I have started a separate stash of 1/48 scale Grumman aircraft with the sole intention of having one of every model and major variant of my favorite Aircraft company, especially since I grew up 20 min from their main gate in Bethpage NY. I've yet to figure out how to display the Trumpeter Albatross, hence it's still on the need to buy list. The thought of having a FF-1 never really crossed my mind. I'm still waiting for a F11F. Joel

It's been done, though it isn't for the faint of heart

Oh yes I have one I'm with you Joel except the live close to the factory bit, love the aircraft from Grumman (and Hawker and Bristol) and do have nearly all the aircraft available in 1/48 with a few extra Hellcats (7) and Tomcats (9)

Thank you for discussing our F2F-1 kit. Can not wait your opinion when you will receive a kit. It looks to be a good seller, so we can think about FF-1 then.
