Thank you my friend. Yes it is indeed an amazing kit. Tonight I started working on it and I'm finding it out first hand just how nice it really is.

Picking out a paint scheme for this one is going to be the hardest part for me. I have several that I would like to do. I'll probably wait for some Over Tree kits to become available on the market, and then I can build a few more of these. It is an incredible model so far. Thanks ! 🙂

Yes sir you are correct on both counts ! This is a kit I wanted to get just as soon as I heard they were going to be releasing one. I can see myself building up a few more of these if the Good Lord is willing... I think if you build one you will be just as happy as I am.

I agree with you. This is an excellent model so far. I'll bet you are just as excited to get going on yours too. The hardest part will be to decide on which one to build... 😉

It's true... This is my very first Eduard build. I have been collecting a lot of them over the years. It also seems they are getting better with each new release. Their 109's, FW-190's, Spitfires, Hellcats, Mustangs, Zeros, and now these Wildcats are all excellent looking models in the box. I have purchased several of each of these kits I just mentioned in the past. In "Ye Olde Stash" I have some of their early stuff like P-39's, Tempests, MiG-21's, and even a Bf-108 Taifun, but for some odd reason I have always shied away from building any Eduard kit. I had always read where they were a "fiddly" build.
But when this FM-2 came out, I couldn't resist the urge any longer and took the plunge. So far I am very pleased with what I'm seeing.
I did read the August edition at the Eduard website. There's a lot of good stuff going on over there. Thanks for the heads up.

Hey Tom,
Good to hear from you. I looked at the clear parts to see for myself what you were talking about. Spot on. As far as the full cockpit floor in the FM-2, so far I have not seen any pictures that show this. I'm not doubting what you say, I just have not been able to find anything yet. I'd like to see a photo so I could better know how to fabricate the floor. So far everything I have looked at do not show these areas in good enough detail to allow one to make the proper corrections. How are you coming along with yours ?
Also, your article for the Eduard website was a very good read. I'm having a hard time putting down your Chosin Reservoir book. Thank you again for sending it to me along with the decals for the F4F-4's.

So far this build has been a very good one. Overall I am quite impressed with it. Hopefully the ride will continue to go well. Now I need to go and find some wood and knock on it for good luck, since I have just jinxed myself...

Hello there my friend. Yes sir this is a wonderful kit. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the photos.
Please stand by everyone... I have an update coming up next.
