\"\"Today I will present two Wildcats. The three-colour one is the old Hasegawa, and the two-colour \u2018in flight\u2019 one is Arma Hobby.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The photos were taken by Grzegorz and, surprisingly, both models look very good when put together. You can see them below, both separately and in a joint composition.<\/p>\n

I started making the first one before Arma released the F4F-4. Its interior is a True Details resin set. I took some elements from our company’s FM-2, e.g. the undercarriage. The decals are a set from Starfighter Decals for USS Ranger aircraft from Operation Leader. I really wanted to have a three-colour F4F-4 and in a combat scheme. Although the Ranger pilots in 1943 would have preferred to have Hellcats, they fought with what was on board.<\/p>\n

Painting was done with cellulose lacquers from the Slovak company MRP. Their interpretation of USN aircraft colours really appeals to me. The base is a fragment of a laser-engraved plywood deck that we included in the FM-1\/FM-2 Deluxe double set some time ago. I printed the pedestal for the deck on a filament printer.<\/p>\n
