Many thanks also Vaughan and yes, now it is done I'm pleased with the result but I also feel the kit could have been better moulded. But then again, that's the nature of Classic Airframes kits.

Yep, I built their Boeing F4B once, it was too long in the nose by 3mm, as I recall. They had great subjects; stuff you can't find with other kits, but always be prepared to do some major surgery!
You did great with this one, the wing folds are fantastic!

 

[Wildcat]

Excellent Vic, she looks great!

 

[ccheese]

Great job, Vic. The wing folds turned out really great.
