Album info

This build came from Revell's 1982 boxing of the same kit that was first released in 1961. It has nice fine raised details and pretty much nothing inside, but a nice looking F4F Wildcat.

This was an easy build and I loved it! I did some minor tweaks here and there, I filed down the big hump from the spine of the fuselage to flatten it out a bit, and the leading edge of the vertical stabilizer was a bit too curvy and I filed it a little to straighten it. Since the top of the engine cowling was meant to be removed to see the engine I glued it on to the bottom cowling and blended them together, and added a small piece of cut styrene strip to make the upper scoop look more legit. The kit's propeller was replaced with one from SBS Models (resin).

I took a decal sheet from the old Frog F4F-4 Wildcat kit and used the USN 1942 Operation Torch markings from 1942.

All and all a blast to make and looks pretty happy with the other builds on the shelf.
