Luka Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) The Airfix WIldcat starter set more or less out of the box, with replacement US insignia (the kit ones are wrong) and white prop cuffs. A really nicely engineered kit and a joy to build. Cheers, Luka Edited December 20, 2022 by Luka 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangor Lad Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Very nice build. The Wildcat always looks good on that scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 A very nice looking job, curious to know what the problem with the kit decals is as I've one of these to do too. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Thanks all! 14 hours ago, neil5208 said: Nice work, what are the paints used please I used Vallejo Air, for the white I took their 71.279 Insignia White, while the Dark Gull Gray was a mix I made of which I don't exactly remember the recipe.. 9 hours ago, stevehnz said: A very nice looking job, curious to know what the problem with the kit decals is as I've one of these to do too. Steve. The white of the bar's corner of the stars-and-bars is supposed to touch the tip of the star. The kit's decals have the bars just stuck onto the circle, but the white should continue into the circle. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew1974 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I really like the look of the US Navy’s Atlantic scheme and your Wildcat! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luka Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 @stevehnz Luckily I haven't seen it often on kits, although I do have a Heller boxing of the Airfix P-38F/H in the stash with similar decal issues. Looks like buying that SuperScale sheet was a good move! 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
