Arma 1/72nd FM-2 Wildcat

[keithjs]

I'm really getting to like these Arma models and their new Wildcat is certainly no exception. Very finely moulded with lovely surface detail it goes together great. The undercarrige is a little tricky but thats' really only down to the scale.

A full cockpit is provided including PE seatbelts and instrument panel but I chose the simple decal option. 

5 colour options are given including 2 overall blue ones, a normal 3 tone, an Atlantic Fleet grey and white one and a Royal Navy one.  I chose one of the blue ones but I wasn't sure whether it should have Mah Baby on both sides? Two decals are provided just in case tho'

I have yet to find a photo of this particular aircraft. A full set of canopy masks are also provided.

Thanks for looking. I think the next one will be a Romanian Hurricane Mk.1.

Very nice Wildcat. Excellent work. Those Arma Wildcats are very tempting. Must resist.

Looks great, Keith! I just got 3 of em myself!

That's lovely.

 

I took advantage of Arma's overtrees offer so I've an expert kit (and I'm no expert!) and 2 sets of overtrees. Planning to build all 3 as FAA Wildcat VI's.

Beautifully done. Excellent masking on the windscreen and canopy. And I like the name given to that particular airplane.
