Used white primer to mask the fabric backside, which was uncolored linen.

The kit seat is surprisingly bad compared to the reference folder -/ decided to modify a spare f4f-3 seat I had.

The f4f-3 seat after squaring the top a little and adding the center part — looked like an added panel on the real one too.

Bad sink mark on the fuselage — not sure how to tackle it. Tried some putty and light sanding, but it already started to ruin the fabric effect so I backed off. I ultimately might just “live with it” over risking ruining it. Other side has it too.

Some light scratch building on the radio loop controller and a brace bar — the kit one was too thick and completely blocked the loop controllers

Following this build too, as I have one of these kits well on its way (but on hold at the moment). I found the kit nice, but there are corrections needed, not the least the weird detailing on the wings.
I don't have Dana Bell's book, so just going with the images on the web.

While waiting on replacement etch for the F3F-2, decided to start the SB2U-3, while I had the same colors ready. Using the Eduard SB2U-3 etch, since I couldn’t find the -1 — using Dana Bell’s excellent book, too.
