December 17, 2023 · in Aviation · · 32 · 420

In its short debut in the modelling world, left a lasing mark in terms of well designed model aircraft. One of these is the -2 biplane. A fond build and a shining gem in the display area.

  1. Some companies come and go, a shame when the kits are as good as this.

  2. Excellent work, Rafi. Simply spectacular!

  3. What a tubby little beauty, Rafi @blackmopane!đź‘Ź

  4. Beautious Maximus. Nice rigging job.

  5. Too many wings and wires for me but it looks very nice

  6. Another gem of your collection, Rafi! An excellent build!

  7. A real gem. I did all of AM's flying barrels, too bad they ceased operations.

  8. Great work on a great kit, Rafi. I built the -1 and like you, regard it to be a highlight of my display case.

  9. I have seen a few of these at local shows. Looks to be a good kit that builds up nicely as you have shown here. I am not much of a biplane guy but something about these interwar period planes is very tempting. Your build is definitely adding to that temptation. Nicely done Rafi, @blackmopane.

    Nicely done Rafi, this F3F-2 model stands out so
    glorious and proud in every picture shown.
    Good clean modeling.

    This is a very nice looking model. There’s something special about having two sets of fabric covered wings and a bunch of wires ! Toss in a radial engine and it’s over the top.

    You have done a magnificent job with it. I’m definitely clicking on several of the various “like” buttons.

    It’s a real beauty !

  12. A very elegant model, Rafi. Like you said, "a shining gem". @blackmopane

  13. Superb result, Rafi @blackmopane
    This yellow wing scheme suites the aircraft really well.

  14. love this model. really a beautiful finish. Cheers.

  15. Another beautiful build Rafi!

  16. Beautiful F3F! I really like these little I ter war fighters. You can definitely follow the liniage of the Gruman airplanes. Great job.
