Grumman F3F Flying Barrel

[jankees 917]

the Aeroplane Heaven model. The sound is a bit thin, but the model is nice, and it is generally a fun aircraft.

I did a few prewar US Navy and Marines paints:

for the Yorktown:

and two for the Ranger:

 

full marks if you can tell me what is wrong with the last one, I still need to correct it..

I did do some corrections on this post Pearl Harbor scheme that came with the model:

I did a baremetal one based in the Caribbean:

and after I finally figured out how the navy system of codes and colors worked, I painted the three aircraft of No.1 (Red) Flight of VMF-2 of the Marines:

Nice piece of investigation as well as painting. It's quite aptly named the barrel!
