1/72nd Arma Model Wildcat Mk.VI, 846 NAS, 1945.


Recommended Posts

Lovely job Tony, really looks the part.

 

I recently procured the 1/48 Hobby Boss FM1 to complete as a 882 NAS Martlet V serving on Searcher May ‘44, by the time I get round to it I should be retired....

Really lovely!

The Wildcat/Martlet has for me some kind of a nice appearance (a bit crunchy like a pupy) whereas the Hellcat is certainly grown up...

Thanks J-W,... yes I know exactly what you mean,... especially this later variant with the big engine and light airframe.

Nice job on what looks like a lovely kit. As always I’m very impressed by your skill with the hairy stick!

Thanks mate,... yes it is a lovely kit although the undercarriage is as fiddly as hell, the instructions don`t help as they appear to be wrong too!

OK, that's it- I'm taking up macrame! Fer cryin' out loud, Tony, that is an awesome Mk VI! Perfect colors and the overpainted codes are perfectly portrayed. Could easily pass for a 1/48 or even 1/32 model.  The only complaint I have is that it's not sitting in my display case! :worthy:

This is hilarious.  Modelers say “Oh, it’s brush painted.”  Come on man, no human can brush paint that smoothly.  Just tell us use an Iwata!  😃

Thanks Roger,..... yeah I think that Arma may follow up with a 48th version if we are lucky.

Well up to your usual high standard, Tony -

 

You seem to be the only other person who builds models as quick as me!
