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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
