Royal Navy Wildcat/Martlet Mk V, 1/32 Revell

[Brad 3,777]

This is the old Revell kit build from the box, just with the addition of spares folder decals as I bough her second hand. A simple kit with minimal interior detail, but I did like the surface detail and it looks quite nice built up. I went hard with the weathering as these aircraft tended to get pretty filthy. Not a modern "uberkit" but still a nice build.

I like it a lot, good job. When I was a kid one of my friends had this model on a shelf (built by his father) and I spent many happy hours just looking at it. Those were the days...

Nice old timer well done

Very nice, built this some 45 years ago myself. Did you leave the wing fold functional? I glued mine in place as the wings sagged.

Very nice work on this old but still nice kit.

Glued in place, but I only committed glue to the joint at the very end and I modified the pins so I could add the outer wings last.

I like that, you have done a cracking job with this.  Might have to look at one of these too.
