This is going to be good fun following, thanks for posting such an interesting topic. Grant Thanks, Grant. I will have a lot of fun assembling it, too. Fell free to ask whatever you need. Good start mate! I have a bunch of 1/32 (and 1/48) F4F kits that I have grand plans for. We shall see! In the meantime I have yours to follow along with. Kev Thanks, commander! Be my guest and please, stay as in your home to correct any thing that you fell need. Very cool start tchwrma - will be following with interst sir-Those belts look good-are the belt buckles made from solder/lead? cheers Thanks, my friend. The bucklesw was made with eletronic components(resistors) leads. The material is copper, and is very easy to conform, and a lot hard to keep the shape, after finished. Very nice work so far on a kit I've been tempted to build. This is the best kit of the wildcat, in the experts opinion, at least in 1/32. But this kit have some little troubles, who I intend to show in the process. But If you decide to try one, You will be very happy. Its a good kit.

tchwrma Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Thanks, friends! I did not know that. What makes it different from the Trumpeter kits? None difference. Its exactly the same kit. Only the price is lower....The comparation is over the Old kits in '32, like the Revell one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
