1:48 Accurate Miniatures F3F-1
Here's my attempt at the 1:48 Accurate Miniatures Grumman F3F-1, and it's built straight from the box. The only thing I added was the antenna wires. The kit is a real jewel - any flaws are mine alone. Accurate Miniatures was my favorite model company, and I really hate they went under. The kits they produced were - and still are - the best examples of their kind ever made. I finished it with kit decals to depict an F3F-1 from Fighting Four deployed aboard USS Ranger in 1937.
Excellent build, Drew...a fine job.
Thanks, Craig!
This ain't my scale and really not my subject matter either but that matters less: A beautiful build in a good looking paint scheme! I really wish that AM had survived to make more kits!

Those AM F3Fs are little jewels. Very nice realization of the model. I miss we don't have our flock of F3Fs out at Chino any more (in the late 90s we had all four of them, including the 2-seater, which I once got a ride in).
Wow, this is great!
Drew ... ANOTHER GREAT build by you .. IT DOES look like a real plane sitting on a flight line, waiting for a crew ...LOVE the photography, with GOOD close up shots .. AWESOME,... guy ...
Thanks, Ray! I appreciate your kind words.
Just ran across this. Really beautiful job on this one.
Thanks very much, Greg! Those Accurate Miniatures F3F kits are about as good as it gets.
