mcdonnell Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hello,Stevej60 - My compliments on a splendid looking build of your 'Wildcat'.I love the quality of the paint finish and just the subtle degree of weathering.She's a little Grumman Gem! All the best,Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Terrific finish. Sure looks like a Wildcat to me. Great work. Not an expert on this type but did the FAA use this version? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Terrific finish. Sure looks like a Wildcat to me. Great work. Not an expert on this type but did the FAA use this version? I think some early Wildcats came from an order for the French placed before their fall so might have been similar mark,I,m sure some FAA fans on site will know the full story and what changes are needed to model the Martlet.

Thanks. I wonder whether Airfix will make a FAA version in due course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookenbacher Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 That's a real beauty Steve. I think you've tipped the scales for me with this build and I'll have to pick up this kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobster Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Looking really neat and good Steve. I picked one up a couple of weeks ago in the LMS, along with the Whitley...I need Airfix to stop releasing all these good quality kits of subjects I'm interested in .

stevej60 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Gorgeous, what did you use for the panel wash? I am envious of your brown panel lines!! Many thank,s just my usual,touch of washing up liquid,add the colour you want and water down to the consistency of coffee or tea. run into the panel lines and after about ten minutes remove the excess with a folded tissue just moist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Very nice work Steve, and very quick too! Certainly looks like a Wildcat to me, wonder if Airfix will make a bigger brother for it in 1/48? Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly looks like a Wildcat to me, wonder if Airfix will make a bigger brother for it in 1/48? Craig. Thank's Craig,I have a sneaky feeling they will,and I predicted the Jet Provost a few month,s ago and was right so new prediction will be the Wellington! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always think the Wildcat is too fat to fly though, yet it does. Anything will fly if you give it enough POWERRRR! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
