I'll be building this for the group built and will probably choose one of the schemes provided with a kit. This will be my first 1/32.

Great entry Jason and I'll be looking at the detail on this one as I've just got myself a 1/48 scale for a future build.

Top choice Jason, this is a real nice kit, love to do one myself...

Great choice Jason. Looking forward to it. Technically not carrier based but I'm totally fine with that.

Very cool, not an A-3 but an A-1 but for some reason always liked this photo.

Exactly! Soooo.....

Great choice Jason, another one to add variety, and one I've wanted to see built. Wouldn't mind doing one myself sometime, but probably in 1/48th scale - running out of space for more 1/32nd models !

 

[Catch22]

Well I've only been here for 5 so...

 

[Lucky13]

aaaand?

It was, in fact, catapult launched !!

One of my favorite seaplanes, Jason, wish I could find a balsa/tissue model of it.

Thanks for the interest guys, hope I can do it justice.

So does this fit within the rules of the group build since it was a catapult launched aircraft?
