Designed for modelers who love detail and flexibility, this kit captures the Goose's character with crisp surfaces, refined geometry, and an impressive level of authenticity.
At its heart are exquisitely rendered Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior engines"packed with fine, realistic features that reward careful painting and weathering. Want to show off the engineering? Choose how you present the powerplants: build the engines fully exposed, display them with removed cowlings, or even reveal the entire nacelle structure for a true maintenance-scene look.

"BLUE GOOSE" COMMAND AIRCRAFT of the USN, USMC and USCG 1911 to 1961
BY: William A. Riley and Thomas E. Doll
128-pages, 15-color illustrations, 13-color photos, 435-B&W photos, and 9-B&W illustrations.
This book covers US Naval Aviation from its beginnings in 1911 until 1961 through the interesting and some times colorful "Blue Goose" or Command Aircraft. "Blue Goose" refers to a color scheme that developed for these aircraft in the 1930s. Command Planes were aircraft that were used by the Secretary of the Navy, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Secretary of the Treasury, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Admirals and Generals of the Navy and Marines, and Captains and Commanders in command of naval installations, ships, squadrons, and air groups/air wings. Many were prototypes and one off civilian and military types converted for such use. The book also provides an overview of US operations in WWII and Korea.
Grumman J4F-1/2 Widgeon/Gosling
By Steve Ginter
40-pages, 126 b&w photos, 5-color photos, 18-drawings.
ISBN: 979-8-9899509-7-3
Grummans success with its famous JRF/G-21 "Goose" was so great that Grumman saw the need for a less costly, smaller version that targeted smaller companies, executives, celebrities and sportsmen. This became the G-44 "Widgeon". It cost about $30,000, which was 1/2 the price of a "Goose". Thirty were built for civilian customers by 7 December 1941 after which most of these were impressed into USAAC service or the Civil Air Patrol. Just prior to WWII, the Coast guard ordered 25 as J4F-1s which differed from the G-44 by having a upper fuselage stretcher hatch instead of a cabin door. During the war the USCG used these and 11 Navy J4F-2s on anti-submarine patrols. Also 12 were purchased by Portugal, 131 J4F-2s with cabin doors went to the Navy, 17 were Lend Leased to England as "Gosling" and one was acquired by Paraguay. Brazil also received 14 J4F-2s. Post-war "Widgeons" were operated by Thailand's and Israel's military too.
