1/72 A-6 Intruder – Frog kit F272
When I started this Frog Yellow Series F272 kit, it must have been back in the mid ‘80s and this Frog/Hasegawa mold may have been the only A-6 Intruder tooling in 1/72 at that time. Cockpit….what cockpit? There isn’t even a [...]
1/72 Hawker Sea Fury FB 11 – Frog F221F
Scalemates shows this F221F bagged kit was released in 1969, with the original Frog mold from 1963 - before I was born - now that's OLD!
I remember reading the the Sea fury was originally ordered as a simplified Hawker Tempest Mk II, they [...]
Two Old 1/72 Bearcats Model Kits (Frog and Monogram)
Here are two kits that I've been wanting to build together for a long time. Years ago, I build the Monogram Bearcat just a few years after it was released and a few years after Frog released their Bearcat, but this was a hard one to catch [...]
Serving Under Another Flag GB: Red Star 1/72 Captured MiG-3 in Romanian Colors
Red Star was a small model company in England that used four molds that were made by Frog around 1976. That year Frog folded and was not able to release their newer kits. While most of their molds went to Novo and Matchbox/Revell, the [...]
Classic Kit: FROG 1/72 Ta-152H Tweaked
I first heard about the Ta-152 in the popular magazine "1001 Modeling Ideas" around 1972 in an article on how to build one using parts from various Lindberg kits. The article showed by using the Lindberg FW190D how to begin. The [...]

The Martin 187 Baltimore was a twin-engine light attack bomber that emerged from a French order, as a follow-up to their earlier Maryland. With the fall of France, the production series was diverted to Great Britain and, after mid-1941, [...]

FROG, ME-262A, Kit # F248, (1972)
On my return back to this hobby, I've been wanting to build a big collection of FROG kits. Since April last year I have built five and restored one. This Me-262 caught my eyes the other day and decided to [...]
Junkers Ju.88 A-4
This build is of a 1967 boxing of the 1964 Frog kit, alas, without the “F 20 Spin-a-prop motorizing kit!” I had read in numerous Detail & Scale books about Frog kits, but had never built one, as such. So when I saw this one for [...]
Novo/FROG 1/72 Westland Wessex Mk. 1
This is a recent build I made for our club's Helicopter group build. It is a 1978 boxing of a Novo/FROG 1/72 Westland Wessex Mk. 1, 845 Squadron (Commando), Fleet Air Arm, H.M.S. Albion. FROG originally released this kit in 1960. This was [...]
