Well here it is! Certainly a beautiful model from Eduard with plenty of parts left over for the spare box! My Wildcat is nearly OTB but for the wheels and MG s from the Brassin range. Beautiful certainly it is but tricky to build as well. Being not a rookie I had a hell of a time with the construction of the undercarriage! One suggestion: before doing anything, increase the diameter of the holes which receive the U/C arms, that will save your sweat for sure! I have used home made masks for all the numbers but went ahead with the large stars as I wanted to try the removing of the decal films. Well more sweat until I used Tamiya tape, a more successful process than the fine tweeters I saw on the web. Nevertheless some small parts of the decals went off with the film and you can see the result on the right wing star. Paints were from the Mr Color range, and like my friend Michaël wrote @Toryu, planes on a carrier are not flying bins. So very sorry for the weathering lovers but Mc Cuskey F4F-3 at the Battle of the Coral sea was pretty clean, and I tried to respect that. Mc Cuskey flown from the "Yorktown" carrier during this pivotal battle. Thanks to Eduard to produce such beautiful models!
