Marking my turf for the Blitz. Hopefully next week.

I will be maintaining my Grumman Cat theme in Blitz's with this beastie. It is a older kit picked up at a show but looks complete.

Boxart:



Innards:



Decals:




Markings are the VF81, VT26 and the Blue Angels. I am looking at doing a line squadron so VF81 is the choice.

[Old_Tonto]

Nice subject choice Jeff. Will keep an eye on this one.

[SteveC]

Jeff,

It looks a very Eye-catching plane, and good luck with the build.

Best Regards,

Steve

[Purplethistle]

I've built the Hase one of this, a sweet little kit for it's age.

[flakmonkey]

Possibly one of the best thread titles ever, Jeff.

[jssel]

Better than Models I'd Like to Fettle? OK I'm leaving now.

[flakmonkey]

You know I'm dying laughing over here Jeff.

[jssel]

Getting a playlist together. I will probably entertain the kids with some 60's British Invasion and 70's British Invasion II stuff and some Yes.

[TomW]

Sounds good to me Jeff

Regards

Tom

[jssel]

So will be starting out in the morning. I get a little geeked up over Blitzbau's.

A little Jethro Tull gentlemen? Wish I was 20 again.

[Arcwelder]

Excellent! Cannae wait for this...

[jssel]

Rise and shine. Getting read to start.

[Arcwelder]

and I'm getting ready to resume, so we'll be building in tandem for a bit

[jssel]

And we are off. I have the usual cast of characters present like Bruce the sprue eating shark.

The first hour passed quite well. I tend to skip around the instructions a little putting together pieces with two halves. Also drilling out required holes for underwing stores etc.
