Finished w/ MM enamels, wash and pastels.
Kit's not terrible...only real drawback is that there really isn't much for a joining surface for the folded wing. I came up with a two pin system that locks the wings in place (no glue required).

Another home run! Looks like you snatched Kermit Weeks F4 and shrank it....
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: 1/72 Dragon F4F Wildcat
awwww, it's all folded up!
Every take-off has a landing...some are just better than others
Re: 1/72 Dragon F4F Wildcat
Wow...the wing-fold looks great and the colors are amazing...perfect balance of fading and paneling detail!!!
I love your Wildcat and want to unfold its wings, launch from the USS Hornet and shoot down a gaggle of Jap Val's...
Re: 1/72 Dragon F4F Wildcat
I didn't even know that Dragon makes a Wildcat and then you show up with this great build!
Re: 1/72 Dragon F4F Wildcat
it's wonderful as always - I relly like your way.
Re: 1/72 Dragon F4F Wildcat
Thanks guys!
....and gal!!!
It's an old Hasegawa kit w/ a new sprue for the wingfold.
