Grumman F4F Wildcat

Thought the Wildcat thing petered out, eh? My Kid’s F4F-3….

Hobbyboss 1/48 F4F-3 "Early" built by my son, Kyle a while ago. I happen to think Hobby Boss really got this one right, and it really looks spiffy in the early wargames scheme. If I recall this one was a kit provided scheme. [...]

1:48 scale Hobby Boss F4F-3, “Wildcat”

Remember that F4F-3 I saw in the hobby shop after I finished converting the Tamiya F4F-4 to a -3? Well, I bought one and decided to see how it stacked up against the Tamiya kit. In my opinion, Tamiya is the better kit. Even though Hobby [...]

Tamiya F4F-4, converted to an F4F-3, “Wildcat”

Keeping the "Wildcat" thing going... I really wanted to add an F4F-3 to the collection and since there was none out there, finally decided to convert Tamiya's outstanding F4F-4. Overall it was not such a hard thing to [...]

You KNOW I gotta throw down on this Wildcat thing...

but it's gonna be 1/32...Trumpeter's F4F-3 "early". Built this one as a Wake Island defender, before there was Silver Wing decals, by patching together available stuff. Engine is wired, gun bays detailed and I had to cast my own [...]

1/48 Tamiya F4F Wildcat...Another Midway Vet.....

Since I saw some other Wildcat posts, I thought I'd add to the mix...This is the Tamiya F4F Wildcat. It depicts F17 from VF-8 USS Hornet June 4, 1942 Battle of Midway, Piloted by Ens. Steven W. Groves. Ens Groves was part of the Hornets [...]

Tamiya, 1:48 scale F4F-4, converted to an FM-1, "Wildcat"

Another of my favorite aircraft to model, Grumman's F4F, "Wildcat" and any of it's variations. I won't go into a long diatribe of how good the Tamiya F4F is, If you've built one you already know that. If you have NOT...please [...]

The Hobby Boss 1/72 F4F-4 Wildcat / Martlet Mk.V

The Hobby Boss 1/72 Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat, "Easy Assemble Authentic Kit". I got this as a christmas gift from my in-laws back in 2008 & though I don't normally do 1/72 scale I thought it would be a simple project to get [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat

Seeing as we're having a bit of a Wildcat theme going on here I thought I'd post my efforts as well. As has been written before the Tamiya Wildcat is a great kit to build. Pretty straightforward in construction, the only fiddly bit I [...]

First of the Vero Beach Projects- The Tamiya F4F-4 Wildcat (1/48th Scale)

I'm not sure what i can say about the Tamiya F4F that hasn't already been said by others. It marked Tamiya's return (in a BIG way) to the 48th scale aircraft segment, it filled a ginormous gap in WWII Naval Aviation subjects (and spelled [...]

The Wildcatfish (Tamiya 1/48 F4F-4 conversion)

A nice way to turn a $30 kit into a $150 model. Tamiya's excellent F4F-4 with the Cutting Edge conversion set to do the F4F-3S "Wildcatfish." and the Just Plane Stuff F3F-3 wing set. The sets included new non-folding wings [...]
