Hey Ryan,

Any chance you have a -1 one in your stash that the clear parts in this kit might have been mixed up with? I got to working on the canopy today and the parts that I've got are for a -1 kit.

Thanks,
Joe

Joe,

No the only F3F ever had was that one. I will get you a new canopy.

Gloss for the wings, semi gloss for the fuselage.  These airplanes were kept in a pristine state, even when aboard a carrier.  Bill Koster himself told me that this is nicest kit his company every produced.  Yours is looking great, Joe.

Here are some shots of the F3F in progress. Almost have it done. I've got to put the whole thing together and weather it. This thing went together like a dream. Everything snapped into place so far, the hardest part is decoding the paint scheme colors for the fleet pre-war.

Still trying to decide the finish, whether flat, semi, or gloss... any suggestions?
