danntheman Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Good morning all, continuing my shed cleanup. This is my 1/72 Academy F4F-4, a cheap little kit, built oob painted with mix of Vallejo and Humbrol. Cockpit is very bare but I did not try to enhance it at all, just good fun as I am not going around much, anyway hope you like it is rough but finished 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 The cockpit may bee basic, but there is not much one can see through a closed canopy. I like the finish very much! The wingtip lights may be slightly oversized, but the overall look is a winner! Well done. JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I agree. The closed canopy covers the sparse cockpit just fine. I really like the color pattern and scheme. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR I agree about wingtip lights did not seem so bad when i was painting them but in these pics mmmmmmmmm, might try and decrease them a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfman Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Great job on an old and basic kit ! Wulfman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Duvalier Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Good job, Dan. This was the first kit I built upon relapsing into the model aircraft disease about six years ago. Not the best, but it goes together well and is presentable upon completion. Just painting everything under glass black works just fine for this one.
