Fleet Air Arm 1:72 Kits

[velocette]

Hi folks,

my interest at the moment lies with Fleet Air Arm aircraft from WW2, I'm trying to get together kits for as many of these as possible. So far I have:
Blackburn Skua (Revell).
Fairey Swordfish (Revell).
Fairey Fulmar(Airfix).
Fairey Firefly(Novo).
Fairey Barracuda(Frog).

Can anyone suggest some others that are fairly easily obtainable and not likely to be too expensive?
I have not seen either a Roc or Albacore, are these out there?
I just recently read a book on WW2 carriers and mentioned within was a FAA plane called Martlet, anyone give me some info on this aircraft.
Wow thats a lot of questions, well any help will be much appreciated!
Best Regards,
Chris

g'day mate

I've been digging around Google and Wikipedia and they all state that your A/C called the Martlet, was in fact the early name for the F4F Wildcat

Thanks scooter, just read a little(never think of google, me and computers, nah!), seems they were diverted from France to England and named Martlet here. Interesting.

Here you are more info for Wildcat/Martlet with the link below.

F4F Wildcat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I can suggest the 1/72 scale Academy plastic kit No.1650 for the machine model.It shouldn't be expensive.

Academy 1/72 Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat

There are a couple of 1/72 scale kits that are offered by HobbyBoss.These are also nice but a little bit much expensive.

Here some top-boxes:
