Guadalcanal Warriors: Eduard 1/48 F4F-4 Wildcat
Eduard's Wildcat is a very nice kit. Surface texture is excellent and the build is simple relatively to the high load of details.
Two things to watch for are the positioning of the guns and main landing gears. The inner wing mold lacks rails and stoppers to align and prevent the guns from disappearing into the wing. The landing gear mechanism is fiddly and parts do not slide into their place readily.
Good to know what to watch for... just got the Midway set.
Nice Wildcats, Rafi. I built the FM-2 and found it to be a straightforward and fun kit. I need to get cracking on a second FM-2 and the FM-1 now.
Thank you, John.
Both are excellent, Rsfi! Fantastic painting and weathering! Thanks for the tips.
Thank you, Spiros!
A very nice set of Wildcats, Rafi @blackmopane
Thanks for sharing the points to pay attention to.
Thank you, John.
Nice results on both Rafi. It's a kit worth the effort.
Thank you, Tom.
Indeed, although it does not stand high in the display shelf. Hence, It is unlikely that I will build another.
They are both great looking Wildcats! Nice job.
Thank you, Bob.
A beautiful pair of 'Cats!
Thank you, Greg!
A nice pair of 'Cats - Eduard Wildcats are the cat's meow!
Thank you, Chas!
