tamiya Grumman wildcat 48 scale

[Guest]

This is the first time I have shown a model of mine to others so be gentle lol .


I built this a couple of months ago and I personally found it a very easy model fit wise as good as their mustangs which have a very good reputation


Built out of the box except foIr an Eduard seat belts and instruments all paints are tamiya and the fuel stains were done with burnt umber artists oil paint airial wire was done with ez line thin I enjoyed this kit so much I got another for the stash right away please comment even if it's negative as I consider myself fairly new to building models seriously and value any feedback


All the best Roger[ATTACH]117186.IPB[/ATTACH]

I'm not an aircraft expert but From what I can see it's a great looking little build, you have not over done the weathering, the painting looks neat and tidy and the scene is nice. I think I would be very proud of that.


Someone with specific knowledge may be able to offer constructive criticism but for my viewing it's very well done.

That looks great to me roger, the only advice ive got is maybe dull the shine on the tyres and prop , perhaps a drybrush with some dark grey , cheers tony

[Guest]

Thanks Tony I'll try that

[Guest]

Excellent Roger, agree with the shine on the tyres but a great first showing.

[dave]

Great first job, not sure how much of the shine on the tyres is due to the flash, but I have to agree it could do with being a little more matte

[monica]

Great first job,I do like the whole little setting very well done,

[eddiesolo]

Nice thing with wings...


Actually, me and planes do not get along, but that is a nice quality build Roger.

[Guest]

Thanks guys and girl for your kind words it's all a learning curve and I love it been doing it for about three years now and I'm totally hooked

[Guest]

Lovely build, Roger, in a great setting. I particularly like the rust on the drop tanks.

[Guest]

Sharp looking build Roger!

This is very nice. As others have said, tyres could do with a bit of matt on them. But overall, you should be really pleased with the result.
