Grumman Guardian

This is a test build for Atvars, designer Leonardo De la Rosa's brand, is a Grumman AF-3S Guardian "Mad Boom", the model scale is 1:100, is a very interesting model, this example was assigned to Naval Air Reserve Training Unit, U.S. NAS Los Alamitos, 1956.

It is an excellent model, and I think it is the first one I have ever seen of the AF-3S.

You have displayed it very nicely, too.

Thanks for sharing these very clear images.

Don

Very nice model! A first one on this plane never seen in cardstock before. I'm eagerly waiting for it at E-card Models; although I'll purchase the Anti-Submarine warfare version witv radome. Tony.

A cracking airframe there, nicely done. Always interesting to come across new types and check their story out. Thank you for showing us this flawed diamond.
