    The washes added a nice touch to the Wildcat George (@gblair). I've been paying attention to your various comments in different discussions regarding weathering (your approach) and trying some of these techniques on my models. Thanks for that. Looking forward to seeing the final reveal on this "Cat".

    Hi Carl (@clipper): Thanks for stopping in. The more I weather using oil, the more I like them. I just finished the last bits on the Wildcat and will post the final stuff soon. Thanks for following along.

    This kit is officially done. I added all of the last parts and took some photos for Headlines. The underwing rockets were easy and went on perfectly. The wing tanks were very fiddly and kept trying to mis-align themselves. One ended up slightly more forward than the other, but you don't notice it unless you look from directly above. Thanks to all of you that followed this build. Cheers everyone.
