Arma Hobby 1/72 FM-2 Wildcat
I have reached an age where the parts in 1/72 kits are both too small to see and assemble, so I don't normally stray into the smaller scale kits. I recently received this Arma Hobby 1/72 FM-2 as a gift from my friend Bernard (@lis), so I [...]
Dragon Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat of LTJG Arthur Brassfield
LTJG Arthur Brassfield opened his account on 05MAY42 while defending USS Lexington (CV-2) during the Battle of Coral Sea. On that day he was credited with downing an H6K “Mavis” flying boat, a kill he shared with two other VF-42 [...]

Mr Goodwrench Goes to War – Eduard 1/48 FM-1 Wildcat
My latest attempt at model building is this 1/48 scale Eduard FM-1 Wildcat. Of the six or so different paint schemes, I chose this one representing VC-1 stationed on the USS Block Island (CVE-21) in 1943.
On May 29, 1944, Block Island was [...]
Wing Folded Wildcat
Here’s my 1/72 Airfix Wildcat. The problems were probably all self-induced but this one fought me all the way. I found the landing gear particularly difficult and never did get them to fit perfectly. Additionally, it was a good thing I [...]
