I would like to present quite recently finished model of Wildcat Mk.VI fighter wearing markings of No.886 Squadron Fleet Air Arm from HMS Searcher. The aircraft SoX took part in the last clash between FAA and Luftwaffe in March 1945, and its pilot shot down \u00bd Messerschmitt 109.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The kit is very nice, although one must be very careful while assembling the chassis.<\/p>\n
The build was almost out of the box. The only exception was seatbelts which are Eduard coloured photoetched.\u00a0 Apart from this, I removed a small aerial mast from the rudder as by 1945 Fleet Air Arm had changed the R\/T equipment, which didn\u2019t need an aerial wire between the main aerial mast and the rudder.<\/p>\n
I painted Wildcat with Bilmodel paints (upper surfaces), Mr Hobby C lower surfaces), H and N series.<\/p>\n I also used washes made by Tamiya and Modeller\u2019s World.<\/p>\n I\u2019m sure it\u2019s not going to be the last Wildcat in my collection, as Arma Hobby offer a lot of interesting painting options.<\/p>\n Nikt ju\u017c nie chcia\u0142 umiera\u0107 w maju…<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/W-VI-1.jpg\")
