Thanks for showing not only an excellent build of this kit, but also what can be done with a kit that many think is so-so. Too many modelers today seem into just assembling parts and not doing any actual scratch building. This kit's 40+ years old and along with the other Revell kits released during this time is a great way to learn how to build/modify a kit, not just assemble a bunch a parts.
Very impressive, especially considering the fit issues of the kit. Your skills far exceed my own. This peacetime paint scheme was only in use for several months, maybe a year before they went to all gray, and then the wartime schemes. The F4F-3 aircraft were factory new when they received this scheme. Maybe they flew a few hundred hours, but most probably flew much less because the engines required overhauls very frequently. My point is I doubt there would be much sun-bleaching or wear on the aircraft in this scheme, as impressive as your weathering turned out. Considering there was no video, your production was very well done with stills and text comments. The music volume should be lower, but the selection was fine. Definitely make more videos.
This is among the most beautiful F-4F models I have ever seen!!! My favorite color scheme. Excellent work!!! I love it!!!

The Trumpeter kit is not 40 yes. old. The Revell kit yes.
