Airfix 1:72 F4F Wildcat

Scale model build of the Airfix F4F-4 Wildcat in 1:72 scale. Also a brief history of the Grumman F4F Wildcat and some of the brave, young men that went to war at its controls.
Finished as a plane attributed to Marion Carl. First Marine Corps Ace of WWII, on Guadalcanal 1942.

The Wildcat held the line in the Pacific Theater until the more powerful and deadly Hellcat came in to finish the job the Wildcat started!...

I love the historic story that adds so much dimension to your model building.

If I may ask, who makes that mottling sheet, or did you make it?

[@buildinghistorymodels]

Thanks for watching, glad you're enjoying it. I'm always trying to improve. The stencil is made by AK Interactive. I believe they make a few different patterns.

On my opinion, chips is a little bit heavy.. It doesn't looks ok for 72.
Everything else is very nice. Like from me.
Very strange: 2.4k watched and my like is first. People, are you mad? Or likes counter is hided?

The R-1820-76 is 1200hp. Not 120hp 🤣

[@buildinghistorymodels]

Yes it does, which is what I meant to say, but this is what happens when I'm reading my script faster than my brain can keep up. Thanks for watching.
