    I'm gonna start with a 1:32 scale Hasegawa F6F-5, "Hellcat", followed by a Ttumpeter 1:32 F4F-4, "Wildcat".

    Nice one Craig, and the version you have chosen makes a colourful cat.
    @Dimitris, sure looks good with the weathering.

    That's a cool choice of markings Craig. Isn't that an Iranian AF Tomcat ?

    Dimitris, your Tomcat turned out very good. The weathering is fantastic !
    Maybe you can start something else for the "Year of the Cat" ?

    Freddie, I'll be looking forward to seeing you work your magic with these choices of 'Cats... 1/32 is a great scale to build.

    Thanks again Craig for starting this build thread. I'll be watching for updates buddy...

    Yes, Louis...it's an Iranian version (not my first choice, but that's the only foreign service decals included - (I'd have rather done an Israeli one, but I'm not sure they even had 'em in their inventory).
    Dimitris, if that's a bad kit, I'd love to see what you'd do with a GOOD one. lol
    Good luck and happy modeling everyone.

    Decided to go old-school ... doing a figure of Al Stewart ... lol. Actually, pulling out one of my old Monogram 1/48 F-14As and applying tons of trickery and brute-force modeling along with a 30-year old Superscale decal sheet for VF-84 in low-viz overall light gull gray.
