very interesting, and thanks for advice, I will order Martlet Mk.I in pdf format and let´s see what is hidden inside, Jindrich Nepevny Praha, Czech Republic

really excellent, is there also some sketches/drawings of front part of landing gear bay (behind engine), many thanks in advance Jindrich Nepevny Praha, Czech Republic

to MDriskill - I know this model very well (manufacturer is Czech company after all), and is not bad for short run. But I prefer larger scale (either 1:48 or 1:32) and Martlet Mk.I is still missing there and I doubt it appears during 21st century,-). I already discovered this page when searching the net for any references, but very appreciate your help, indeed. Jindrich Nepevny Praha, Czech Republic

to Gingerbob - super shot with lots of details around canopy area, I wish have more and more pics Jindrich Nepevny Praha, Czech Republic

to Gingerbob and MDriskill - very appreciate your help, still looking for any detailed sketches, drawings, pictures atc. on fuselage undercarriage bay with engine bearings and other staff there, especially for F4F-3A (aka Martlet Mk.III) and F4F-4. Many thanks in advance Jindrich Nepevny Praha, Czech Republic

to gingerbob - is page from manual with windscreen details for F4F or FM-2 ? Is it available to public or is it possible to order it somewhere ? Seems to be endless source of details. Very appreciate your respond. Many thanks in advance. best regards Jindrich Nepevny Prague, Czech Republic

Gentlemens, amazing how discussion about given topic went into details, I very appreciate tape dimensions, help me in scrachbuliding of nose part including cowling, and looking forward to more info about Mk.I and/or Mk.IV, keep on, best regards Jindrich Nepevny Prague, Czech republic

Many thanks to everybody for continuous support, it is very appreciate, all the time. By the way, did everybody have mail contact to Martlet Mk. restoration chief or is it sufficient contact FAA ? best regards Jindrich Nepevny, Prague, Czech republic

Many thanks Claudio, I know first two sources, but film footage is great, however detailed picture from museum Martlet Mk.I is still necessary for such conversion. Best regards Jindrich Nepevny Prague, Czech republic

I hope so, I will expect a lot of "under skin" details as well as more other Martlet Mk.I pictures. Only two questions last - when the restoration will be complete and haw long we will have to wait for the BOOK ? I still hesitate to continue with my Martlet Mk.I project, because the selected scale is to big and lot of "question" still unsolved. Any detailed pictures are still very appreciated. It is pitty that MAM magazine have not web archive with more pictures or with the same picture with more resollution. Many thanks in advance. best regards Jindrich Nepevny Prague, Czech republic

Many thanks for support from all of you, I manage to collect a lot of info about Martlet Mk.I (how differ from F4F-3 etc.), but still missing details like undercarrige space, nose frpom cocpit onward, modified engine cowling, engine compartment etc. Few pictures from MAM magazine (back issue from 2008 or 2007) are really excellent, indeed; however too small to provide sufficient details for schratchbuilding in 1:32 scale. Is there any chance to acquire more details fotos from FAA surviving plane ? By the way, when Martlet Mk.I restoration work will be finished ? bstrgds J.Nepevny Czech republic

Greetings everybody, I prepare myself for new project, Martlet Mk.I from Trumpeteer F4F-3 in 1:32 scale, but I am very suprised about lack of fotodocumentation and detail drawings of this type, especially when one survivors is in FAA museum (unfortunately or fortunately several years under restauration process). Engine cowling and nose part should be scratchbuild so that´s my reason for accuracy. Wing modification is easier part of job. Any help is very appreciated, walkaround is a gift from heaven,-). Thanks in advance. Jindrich Nepevny, Prague, Czech republic
