Here is the Wildcat after being dusted - transforming in the process from dusty brown to grey! It was in basically good shape and some casual violence reduced the undercarriage from 50% complete to 0%. More robust that way! After further cleaning I attacked it with paint.
Beautiful plane Tim, the paint and decals really bring it to life and do it justice!

ReplyDeleteMore Navy aircraft still to come!
That has turned out great, it looks really smart. I always had a soft spot for the Wildcat after playing too much "Pacific Air War" back in the day.
ReplyDeleteCurious that the early war scheme had roundels on both wings.
ReplyDeleteLooks good Tim.
ReplyDeleteThe decals make it 'pop'....
Cheers,

ReplyDeleteThanks - this is the colour scheme Wildcats should have in my view!

ReplyDeleteMaybe they ran short of decals later in the war?

ReplyDeleteIt does look surprisingly colourful for a basically grey aeroplane.
