A Finished Cat
The final finishing touches were added to the cat, the antenna, pitot, various lights, and with that I'm happy enough to call it done. No major areas to note other than my cat actually has 5 guns, this is due to the barrel going too far into the wing so the left wing has a spare barrel bouncing around. On a serious note it is a shame that there isn't any sort of stop moulded in like on Tamiya's P-47 (if I'm remembering correctly) that prevent the barrels going too far in. Not the end of the world on the 4 gun Wildcat, but I would have been very annoyed if I lost my first barrel like that on a 6 gun Wildcat.
Certainly a few things I'd rather have done differently, i.e plan exactly which plane I would have done from the beginning, but all in all a fun build and I hope this thread shows that it's a great bit of plastic. Definitely considering picking up another one but you I'll wait and see what their plans for a rebox are, I'd assume we'll see a rebox in a month or two considering how they've released like 3 or 4 boxings for the A6M2 already since its April release.
Time to dust of the G4M1 and see if I can't get a shot of these two models together. Thanks for following along and providing input and critique as always folks.
