These guys are the descendants of the Marine Sqn on Wake Island 1944.
I did a pair of F4F's flown by Carl Davidson GB-41. Thought it would be a
nice addition to my cabinet. If size matter, wow, what a diff in both!!!!!

Done some assembly already, post when I do some painting.
Re-posting below from "What Annoyed You Today", should be my first post here!
Okay, I'm just a bit tired of Non fitting kits! or is it just me?????
So I got a Kittyhawk F-35B and want to build #9 from VMFA-211, on the HMS Queen Elizabeth.
The one above.
I built a Davidson F-4F Wake Island from this same Sqn.
What is Annoying me you ask!
1. Broken part in the bag, unopened.
Proudly mfd in CHINA 2012! Why China I ask!!!!!!!

Continuing.......
Parts don't fit. The disk is too thick, and to large in diameter.
So it is necessary to Taper the edge, and make sure to file off the tree tabs.

I make copies of the instructions and make notes.
The green tells me I have cut them off the tree, the red that it's been glued up.
But in this case if I had followed instructions Nothing would have fit in the fuselage.
I had attached some before I checked, then had to tear them apart.
