TAILHOOK CAMPAIGN(5 ON BOARD)

Anyone open for a Naval aircraft?

Lots of subjects :zen

Shermans 18 is trying to get it going again Paul and I am trying to help him

I'm sure I could find something to build.

I have the old Tamiya 1/32 Tomcat too Dave but mine was a shelf queen when I got it and then it got some more butchery done so I guess it won't fly.

I also have a nice Brewster Buffalo in 1/32, but can't remember if it was ever a carrier plane or not. :hmmm

I think that this one is dead, Dave

They never die...just hibernating...

Depends on the version of the Buffalo. The commonwealth ones didn't serve on carriers but the US ones did.

My vote is a BIG FAT YES as long as it runs for a year.

Got a LOT of naval stuff in the stash, from an AM Dauntless & Avenger via Fujimi RN Phantoms to a Hobbyboss F/A-18... so finding some plastic isn't an issue. Choosing one might be...

The kit I have will build and has markings for several aircraft including one that ws stationed at Midway during the battle there. Will just have to look at the kit.

I also found some photos and color drawings of a couple of Buffalos that the US painted up in weird ways as experimental cammo markings. Look a cross between German slinter cammo and modern art. Will try to dig them up.

That would be an F2A-3. Those did see use from carriers. The paint scheme that looks like splinter camo was called Barclay camo. I'm not sure if the F2A-3 wore it though. http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/ac-usn22/f-types/f2a-cam.htm
