US Navy Grumman KA-6D Tanker Intruder 1/72 Italeri
Italeri kits are usually a little fiddly for me but odd enough I often get lucky with the results as with this Tanker Intruder. Parts breakdown was a bit complicated as this is a derivative of the ordinary Intruder kit. Navy Light Gull Gray / Insignia White is my favourite scheme and I like it on this tanker.
U.S. Coast Guard Grumman Widgeon J4F-1 1/72 Airfix
Airfix Widgeon is a nice subject, but unfortunately this re-issued oldie was a challenge. Windscreen didn't fit, cowlings didn't fit, wings didn't fit, floats and float struts were horrible, etc. etc. Besides, the windscreen is too small and there is something wrong in the overall impression as well that it just doesn't look right to me. This plane it quite isn't: http://www.antiqueairfield.com/images/Airplanes/1340J-2002.jpg
Still, I managed to build and finish it without total frustration, so it's not a hopeless kit. And it isn't actually too bad, if you don't look too close...
