Nice work so far Andy!

 

[Wayne Little]

Quick work mate!

 

[Wildcat]

Thanks guys. I've added the upper wing struts and painted the yellow undersides. Progress is quick, but so it should be, there's only about 12 parts to get it to this stage!

Heck, I just start checking this thread, and it's almost finished !!
Good stuff Andy.

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks guys. Tonight I applied the first coat of dark green, also with a Tamiya spray can.

I don't look in here for a couple of days and you d@mn near finish it! Very nice Andy. I have one if these in the stash and with not a lot of available time during the next GB I might do the float version.

 

[Wildcat]

Do it Glenn, it's a fun little kit!

 

[destrozas]

[Wildcat]

Thanks Sergio.

 

[Wayne Little]

holy Sh*t now it's green!.....Good stuff Andy

 

[Wildcat]

Now with a dash of brown! My masking turned out better than expected, which was a relief.

 

[Wurger]

Nicely done.

That is a spiffy little aircraft. I gotta search harder to find an RCAF bird, even if it was only used for consideration.

Thanks guys!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Well done so far!

 

[Wayne Little]

Done good there Andy!

 

[Wildcat]

Thanks boys. Small progress today, first of all the exhaust stacks were attached as was the tail wheel. Tonight I also started with some of the rigging (between the wheel spats), this is the first time I've ever attempted this so it is all a bit daunting. I'll be using stretched sprue (also a first for me) so wish me luck! I'll do the decals before attempting the wing rigging.
