    F4-F Hellcat.....Aiirfix ...1/72

    Nice little kit....just my skills let it down.....i just find aircraft so hard for some reason.....the folded wing attachment is a little lacking.....praise be for ca glue!......i am sure they could have designed something a little better.....lashed up a little base just to take pics on.....yes i know it aint right cos US carriers had wooden decks but i was just playing about with some masking tape and paint cos i have something else in mind for the future and wanted to see if my idea worked

    Usual calibrated unit of comparison

    Nice result Paul. Folded wings always add a bit of extra interest to a plane.

            It's a Wildcat, and a great result on your one Paul.
