Trumpeter F4F-3 Wildcat

Here it is guys, Somewhat of an artistic licence on the paint colour but I was going for a really oxidized look as this was now a Guadalcanal land based aircraft.

I've never been a huge fan of the Wildcat, but this one looks exceptional, the weatering is perfect, exactly as I would imagine they would have looked like after baking a few months in the hot South Pacific sun.

Wow, pretty serious work there! That looks like a big kit! You got to love rivets to build that baby?

Nice effect on the faded paint! Good job!
