Just finished the Accurate Miniatures F3F-1. And what an outstanding model kit. Perfect fit and simple to build, took only 5 days to build...helped a lot by being mainly painted in Tamiya Laquers which dry withing minutes. If it wasn't for the newer Hasegawa F3M Pete, i'd rate this as the easiest Bi-Plane build i've ever done.
Too bad the manufacturers don't do more of these between the war subjects, i'd especially like to see the classic British Silver Wings aircraft like the Siskin and Bulldog done in 1/48.
In fact i think i'm going to do the Hobby Craft P-26 next using the new Starfighter Decals sheet i just got.
