    Cheers pal! Here's another one from the same seller I think. Will get one later, have a few kits to pay off first. Think that this one would be the correct one for the USS Yorktown F-1 bird....or did they have others as well? Classic Air Frames 1:48 Grumman J2F-1, 2, 2A, 3, 4 Duck | eBay

    You probably have these, but I thought I would pass on what I've got.
    None mention the Duck. Have you found the sqn that had this plane in it's inventory?

    If you (or any others that may) have additional info please pass it back.

    60 bucks for that CA kit, ouch.
    Anxious to see this build, always have liked the Duck.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I thought the picture WAS of a model done by Wayne!
    “The entrance to the cockpit of this aircraft is most difficult. It should have been made impossible.” — Flight Journal magazine, April 2000, regards the XF10F-1, Grumman's first attempt at a swing wing fighter.

    Is there a way to figure out which (one or several) Grumman Ducks flew from USS Yorktown CV-5? I don't think that you can enlarge this pic to see the serial, not been very successful myself anyway...

    Went back to where I found the photo her...and it says:

    Photo #: 80-CF-54867-2

    Grumman J2F-1 Utility Plane (Bureau # 0169)

    On the midships elevator of USS Yorktown (CV-5), 2 November 1937.
    This aircraft is plane # 4 of the ship's utility unit.


    Wonder if the other ones were 'Ducks' too.
    How many aircraft did a Utility Unit have back then?
