socjo1 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Dear Fellows, Let me show you my last model. Call it air component of my personal Battle of Atlantic project. It is very nice model, well detailed and designed. One difficult point is undercarriage, carefully fixing is must. Be carefull with PE engine ignition wires too. I'm not sure but I think they are changed right and left in instruction. I used alternative markings from Techmod set - VC-13, USS Tripoli. And finally... is grey camouflage boring? Best regards, Michał. PS. Some close-up shots soon... Edited February 4, 2021 by socjo1 51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Duvalier Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Very nice, and just in time for me. I've been working on one of these beauties, got the airframe together last night and decided on... The Atlantic ASW scheme! I don't think a 2-colour scheme is necessarily boring. The asymmetrical tank fitting adds interest as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangor Lad Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Great work! I have three of these in my stash, all waiting for a chance to get started. You've really captured the worn look of these hard-worked aircraft. Thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Michal...............gray is definitely NOT boring especially when it is done as nicely as this one. I like it!!!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrzeM Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Michał! Very well done. It's a cool airplane and this scheme is cool too. In my opinion the most boring (but still very cool!) of the Wildcat's camouflages is glossy sea blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socjo1 Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) It's time for a dozen of close-up shots. I decided to use decals from Techmod set. My choice was USS Tripoli. This carrier wasn't as succesfull as USS Core nor as famous as Gualdalcanal, but I liked very characteristic squadron's emblem. I don't know what exactly the cat is doing, probably he has broken and swallen fingers or has rheumatism (sea climat favors it!)? Who knows, have we a vet on board? Anyway, I had to paint blue circlec under the cat - decals are transparent. And next little birdie from Atlantic waves waits for adding few details and photo-session for you! Best regards, Michał.

opus999 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I really like the Atlantic paint scheme. I don't see it too often. This is a terrific build! The paint is suitably worn-looking and the weathering and wear are very believable. You did some terrific detail work too. Nice job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeusa Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Very tastefully done paint job on this Wildcat. This grey scheme is not boring at all, but is highly interesting and tells its own story. Thanks for sharing. I think the finger I will be giving you is a thumb's up rather than the cat's salute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
