Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat, Airfix 1/72
My earliest memory of the Wildcat was seeing Jack Leynwood’s classic box art on Revell’s original release of their 1/32 kit in the late 60s. It shows a pair of Wildcats led by CDR Jimmy Thatch flying over a frantically maneuvering [...]

When I first heard that Eduard was going to be releasing a brand new FM-2 Wildcat in 1/48 scale, I was very excited. I had the older Hobby Boss FM-2 kit, and it fell short in some areas. So I was not in any hurry to spend as much money [...]
