This is Tamiya's
excellent 1/48 Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat (kit 61034). It was built with the addition
of Eduard seatbelts, decals from the spares box and fishing line for the aerial
wires. I wanted to do a different camo scheme from the options in the kit
instructions. A couple of minutes Googling found this rather smart
"Atlantic Scheme" which I was not previously familiar with.

The model was painted with
Xtracrylics and Vallejo Air which were airbrushed freehand. The
weathering was done using Promodellers Dark Weathering Wash.
This was a really
enjoyable build, mainly due to the well engineered kit and the ease of using the
Promodellers wash. I hope you enjoy.
