Quagmyre Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 (edited) One more to share before I go back to building and watching basketball. This build was done using RVHP's Wildcatfish conversion for the 1/48 scale Tamiya F4F-4 Wildcat. Learned a lot about how to work with resin on this one. Instructions didn't jive well with illustrations either. I think it was a case of "lost in translation". Had to manifest some extensions from spare resin parts I had lying around for some of the supports. Thought about a flat coat, but then I realized this thing was rarely used, so I went with satin finish and decided to diplay her as shiny and new for the Admirals... or whatever. The F4F-3S Wild Catfish... only one was built... here's mini-one. ;) A nice excerpt on this bird can be found at the following link --> http://www.daveswarbirds.com/usplanes/aircraft/catfish.htm Edited March 25, 2005 by Quagmyre Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Walker Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Boy, I'd love to see a diorama with your Wildfish mixing it up with a Japanese Rufe. Great job on the model also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
