    Hi Everyone!

    First, congratulations to our Admin @aldog for creating this very nice GB! My first entry is the venerable Hobbycraft 1/72 F2H-3 Banshee that will be finished as a Royal Canadian Navy bird. After conducting Aldo, he stated that Royal Canadian Navy planes would be great to be included in this Group. So, here it is!

    My bench is already too full, but it will be very soon that I will start cutting sprue on this one.

    More to come!

    Basic assembly completed...

    Quite a sizable plane, even in 1/72
