Hobby Boss 1/48 F4F-3S Wildcatfish

Post by pourquoi61 »

To sum up this build I would say it has been fun, the canopy did not fit perfectly and a few joints needed sanding but it was easy and fun. So here are the pictures.

I thank you sir, I have to admit I like to stay in my comfort zone when kit building staying away from the dark art of figure building.

Awesome work, great subject. It's one of my favorites in this GB, and considering they're all pretty amazing it's hard to like one over another.
