discussion FINISHED: 1/32 Grumman Wildcat F4F-3 Early

[Vaughan]

Hi All here are the finished photos of my build. All in all a good kit with a few fit issues but all came out fine in the end.The weathering is at a minimum as these early Wildcats were cleaned on a daily basis. This was my first attempt at using metallic over a large area, I struggled a bit but with a bit of perseverance and patients I got there. All comments welcome.

It looks great. I like dirty planes, but I think the weathering for this a/c is spot on.
