Looking forward to it, my friend @mvtb!
I'm still in search for a good Wildcat, so looking forward to this build, Marcus @mvtb
Thanks for the interest guys!
Everybody is quite aware of the Grumman wildcat story during WW II,so we will herein go straight to the building.
The chosen version is one of the earliest of the F4F-4:

Great work so far. I did a '42 Enterprise F4F a few years back, but depicted one after the red had been removed. Should be a quick build judging by yours great progress.
Fast and good progress, Marcus @mvtb
Great progress and nice camo choice, my friend @mvtb! Yep, the Tamiya kit looks great! I have the same kit and looks really nice in the box.
Those VF-6 airplanes were the first F4F-4s to go onto a carrier when they got back from the Kwajalein raid.
Your work on the kit looks good.
Thank you all for the kind words...finally the interior pictures...
