WIP is here....http://www.spamodeler.com/forum/viewtop ... f=20&t=745


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....

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...
