Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat (Arma Hobby 1:72)

[InFlames]

Excellent Arma Hobby model.

John S. Thatch's aircraft after the first action of Battle of Midway where he shot down three Japanese aircraft.

Mostly out of the box model, with just a few scratch items and a riveting job.

Looks great to me too...
...... and that piece of carrier deck sets it off a treat

[InFlames]

Superb build Seb , loving the carrier deck and figure too . The rivetting must have taken a steady hand , looks great , cheers tony

[InFlames]

Thank you!

Tony, steady hand mostly on curves. I did help myself with pieces of masking tape as a guide. But yeah, it's a tedious multi-hour task even on such small model.
