jesTer Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Build 3 of 2018 is a 95% OOB build. The 5% is: drilling out the gun barrels and replacing with 0.5mm brass pipes adding an aerial using my daughter's hair though I gave up doing the shorter one scratchbuilt seatbelts markings for Marian Carl's WIldcat in 1942 Guadalcanal from Techmod. Quite happy with how it turned out although some obvious mistakes if you know where to look. All comments welcome.

Joel_W Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 have a real fondness for all things Grumman's. Grew up 20 min by bike from the front gate in Bethpage. Just an excellent build. Your paint scheme and weathering is just spot on. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
