I think you'll find the Mirage 5 had a longer, more pointed nose cone.

Nice job on that!

Hi all I'm not convinced that XV348 carried mantel missiles, as supplied in the Frog kit, Can I get away with two slipper fuel tanks on the inner pylons and SNEB rocket pods on the outer Pylons? This is Honington 1970. There are pics on the web of XV348 carrying slipper tanks and empty outer pylons...

I think I'd approach it by sanding a small flat area where the port goes, then glue on a piece of plastic card cut to the shape of the flange/plate that goes there. I'd probably just paint the actual camera window black. Good luck.

David

Well done. I'd forgotten you could build it in that configuration.

Excellent build and lovely paint job. Nice to see some activity on this board too.

David

Thanks, guys.

I keep peeking here. I'd love to see more Frog kits built.

Great question but the only answer I can give is "because that's the way the RAF ground crew painted them on". In Operation Musketeer the stripes were painted on in the field and it seems the instructions must have been to NOT overpaint the roundels. In most cases, the underwing serial num...

This is the 60th anniversary of Operation Musketeer. Hunter F5 WP130 was with 34 Squadron and flew out of Cyprus during the campaign. http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r296/dwomby/Models/Hawker%20Hunters/DSCN2603%20Copy_zpsfunuc27v.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r296/dwomby/Models/Hawker%20...

This is only part Frog. It's the Frog F14 fuselage mated to the Hawk F22 wing and a Special Hobby F45 rudder (provided by a fellow modeller). The radiators were plunge-moulded copies of those in the Eduard F21 kit. Quite a hybrid but I am pleased with the results and the Frog wing will end up mated ...

I did this as part of a GB commemorating Operation Desert Storm. It is the Novo issue of the old Frog kit. Novo deleted all the lighting parts and issued it with BA decals. The basic shape, like many old Frog kits, was very accurate but some details were missing - notably the wing fences. The fit wa...

Well done. Looks a lovely build.

Looks fantastic.

So Roden are doing a Super VC-10, not the Standard model?

David

It's Korean, Chris, and it's also gibberish. I guess it's a Korean troll

I have the Aeroclub 1/72 Venoms but have always had a soft spot for Frog kits so I picked up this built-up one off eBay and refurbished it. http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r296/dwomby/Models/Frog%20Venom%20FB4/IMG_2348_zpsdf6f25fc.jpg First job was to give it a bath in Easy Lift Off. Then it need...

Welcome

That is excellent. Shows what can be done with these old Frog kits.

David

It was re-issued in the last decade or so by Maquette. That version can be bought for a lot less than the genuine Frog issues.

David

dwomby

Neatly done improvements. Especially opening up the canopy and putting in an interior!

David

dwomby

Lovely job! I have made a couple of these and still have a few in the stash. Same as most Frogs - basic but looks the part.

Nice One!

David

I recently explored a box still in my parents' attic. Based on the newspaper I found in the box, I packed these away in January 1973. Some are pretty awful (Stuka and Mosquito) but some aren't too bad. DH Comet (pretty sure this is the Frog and not the Airfix one) http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/...

dwomby

I'd be intrigued to know what you have.

David

Great job! Shows what can be done with these old kits.

Looks great, Larry. Another 'oldie but goodie'!

David

dwomby

Sweet. She has stood the test of time well.

David

dwomby

Nice additions. I especially like the Frog Buccaneer. Looks great. Any tips on building it?

David

dwomby

Nice job, Larry. These old kits can be so much fun, eh?

David

dwomby

Bienvenu.

Quels sujets preferez-vous? Les avions en service Francais?

David

dwomby

Je ne parles qu'un peu de francais mais c'est tres bien fait.

David

dwomby

Larry, that looks great. By far my favourite of the 3 schemes it wore.

How was the build?

David

dwomby

Your models, your pilots and your photo skills all leave me in awe.

Great to see these old Frog goodies being made to those standards.

David

Hi Chris

Nope - there was Frog issue of the Tempest with the clear prop disc in. You can just make it out in this pic.

David

Hi Larry

Good to see you're here too.

David

I remember Frog's Spin-A-Prop kits but I also have a vague memory of a single engined fighter that came with a regular prop and spinner but also a complete one piece spinner and prop disc moulded in clear plastic. I think it even had some blurring effect on the prop disc. Does anybody else remember ...

dwomby

I remember building it and I think it's probably still stored in a tea chest in my parents' attic in Scotland with my built models from 1968-1972.

I do remember several years before that, my Dad built me a 1/96 Frog Comet but that's long gone.

David

Built in 2008 and brush painted.

Here's my Meteor IV. Built about 5 years ago and brush painted.

I built Airfix Series 1 that I used to buy of a rack in Woolworths for 1/6d for several years then moved to Hawick in 1968 and was totally taken by surprise to find that there was another brand of kits - Frog. A local bicycle and sports shop had them in the back of the shop. I think the first I boug...
