Since Trumpeter "fixed" their Wildcat I guess I'll get one as I've wanted a Wildcat model for a while. Did they re-number the kit after they did the fix? I don't want to wind up with one of the "originals".

LOL Peter!

I've thought about getting their Wildcat kit but haven't as I thought there were some problems with the fuselage width behind the cockpit. Not so??? I look forward to some pics!

LOL Peter. Not without a few bumps though Peter. 🙄

Thanks Kevin!

A little more progress.

Interesting Carl. I figure to give armor a break after I get this Sherman done but will come back to armor later since I have a number of armor kits in the stash.

A very early Sherman!

That's good to know Rob. Thanks!

That sounds good Peter. I look forward to receiving my A-1 set.

Outstanding work Gaz! 😉

Thanks Phil. I bought the newest release Tamiya M4A3E8 and it's very similar to the Ryefield model except with no extremely fiddly PE stuff. I got it to rob the tracks for the Ryefield model but have also robbed some small plastic parts to use instead of the RF PE. I think the Tamiya kits (at least the Sherman) is every bit as good as the RF kit and whenever I decide on another tank (other than the Dragon and Cyber Hobby kits I already have in the stash) I'll look at the Tamiya version before buying another RF kit. I still have the four RF kits I want to sell off but no one seems to be interested in them. 🙄

Thank you Peter. It's a nice break from airplanes but I look forward to getting back to my Skyraider build. I'm waiting for a cockpit set from Quinta Studios. 😀

LOL Carl. I doubt it! However I do intend to stay with planes.

Thanks Gaz. LOL

Progress so far. I've covered the clear parts with liquid mask so those areas won't get painted later.

Yes, lots of little fiddly bits.

For sure Gaz! LOL

Looking good Gaz!

Thanks Rob. I had to break out my magnifier for this build! LOL

For some reason I didn't really notice this kit has SO MANY little fiddly pieces. It's about to drive me blind!!! Jeeze Louise! 🤪

No problem with the swastika showing. A HE 111 would be great!

Coming along well Kai!

I had overlooked this build Phil! Looks like it's coming along nicely. Great subject!

I agree Peter. I shopped around for a canopy mask set for the ZM kit but no one had it, not even ebay. So I finally settled on a set from SB for the Trumpeter kit and have crossed my fingers it'll fit okay. We will see.
