Are there any 1/72 decals out there for the Gulfhawk Grummans? Kim M


Are there any 1/72 Gulfhawks?

I know MPM had a 1/72 f3f that might be a starting point.But didn't someone (Pegasus?) make a Gulfhawk?

Monogram modified their 1:32 Grumman F3F-1 into a Gulfhawk, but its pretty scarce these days.

Welll, I'll tell you! I actually think it was the other way around. The Gulfhawk was actually a Grumman F3F-2 fuselage with a commercial version of the R-1820, I believe, and a set of wings from an F2F. To get the F3F kit they simply added a different cowling and decals. The result wasn't an accurate F3F by any means.

I have a bunch of bits and pieces for it if someone needs them--wing sections, fuselage halves, cowling, tail/rudder and most of the decal sheet, although it's pretty sad shape.
