It is a nice book, great production standards, many high quality photos and a good overview of the Grumman airplanes, from the FF-1 to the F-14 and X-29. Cut aways and 3 views, little or no color.

Re: Latest Acquesitions - pt.3
And the birthday gifts continued to come in.....
From my friend and fellow IPMS Orange County club member Sean:


And later he found this:

This was from my SoCal AMPS group who gave this to me for my birthday:

And finally, from my friend Dave from our St. Crispin's Irregulars Hobby Day group came this which he found a Joann's Fabrics; it was the last model there:

And yes, the side of the Flying Saucer box says it is 1/72 scale!
That's all for now, thanks for stopping in.

Re: Latest Acquesitions - pt.3
Kinda mucked up my 1/65 revell x-3 and I wanted a 1/72 kit to go with my x-15 anyhow


Thanks,

Re: Latest Acquesitions - pt.3
Ya - overall not too successful but such a cool looking plane. I've done the X-1 and X-15 - this will round out the cool ones
Thanks,
