    started with the decals
    realized that the F(N)4 decals are oversized, so are the fuselage number 21 and the cowl number 88 for the second scheme in this weekend edition, sadly found no suiting replacement in the decal stash...well it is how it is
    funny thing is that I saw built up "21" models with this Weekend Edition kit where the number size was correct, seems there happened an oupsie at Eduard, some kit tranches with correct decals and some with oversized

    as mentioned, this is a Weekend Edition kit, so no PE parts
    built the recently finished Eduard ProfiPack F6F-3 without a tank, so gonna use the PE tank straps from that kit here
