Guadalcanal Warriors: Eduard 1/48 F4F-4 Wildcat

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on April 5, 2025 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Eduard's Wildcat is a very nice kit. Surface texture is excellent and the build is simple relatively to the high load of details. Two things to watch for are the positioning of the guns and main landing gears. The inner wing mold lacks [...]
