Academy 1/72 F4F-4 Wildcat, Atlantic Theater

by Greg Kittinger on December 8, 2022 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

This was a nice little kit – engraved panel lines and some larger fastener details around the cowl/nose area. They were a bit like new Airfix kits, waaayyy over scale! I added a few additional missing panel lines and then riveted the [...]
