FM-2 Wildcat Hobby Boss 1/48

Post by LyleW »

Interesting kit. I had to order canopy parts from China - cost about as much as a new kit, but I didn't need a complete kit. Oh well. I finally got them painted and put in place.

Worth it Lyle. Nice build - I like the Atlantic scheme.
Thanks,

Thanks, John. I like that one, too. . Something a bit different.

What I can see looks good Lyle. We just need to get you in a picture taking mood to show off more of your work.

Just shots from the more flattering angles… like some women… :giggles: :whistle:

Love the Wildcat, but I'm not sure she has any flattering angles :giggles:

Really nice Wildcat Lyle!

I think the Atlantic camo is generally underestimated, so great to see one here!
