This is a repaint of the AH Grumman F3F as the GE-23 Delfin flown by the Spanish Republicans of Grupo Independiente 28, FARE during the Spanish Civil War.
A total of 40 aircraft were acquired by the Spanish Republican Government in 1937 via intermediaries from Turkey. This batch was built primarily to bypass the US embargo placed on belligerents during the Spanish Civil War. Referred to as the GE-23 Pedro Rico by the Spanish Republican Air Force, the aircraft were used in the conflict, but were not well matched against their chief opponent, the Fiat CR.32, although one victory against a Heinkel was the only recorded "kill" by a Grumman biplane fighter. Eight survived to serve in the Ejercito del Aire Espanol as the Delfin (Dolphin).
You'll need the original from Aeroplane Heaven
