War Games...1/48 Grumman F4F-3A Wildcat, VMF-111 "Devil Dogs", USMC

24/2023

Next naval aviation subject finished by my dad.
Took a second attempt to finish it, the first model didn´t make it to finish because my dad didn´t get along with Eduard´s complex and fragile landing gear.
Built oob, painted with AK RC Light Gull Grey FS16440, EZ Line for the antenna wires.
