Grumman F4F Wildcat

Eduard 1/48 Wildcat Mk.VI

I got this one as part of my Birthday present last year along with a Bunny Club Membership. Of course this one had to be an FAA subject. The colours should probably be the equivalent ones but I don't have them so standard TSS it was and to [...]

F4F-4 Wildcat, Hobby Boss 1/48

1:32 Scale, Trumpeter, F4F-4, 'Wildcat'

1/48 Wildcat VI (FM-2).

I finally got to build my first Eduard Wildcat. Eduard hit a home run with this one. Not only is it an accurate FM-2, but Eduard really raised the bar for 1/48 Wildcats. This kit renders the Tamiya Wildcat obsolete and in my opinion [...]
