When I did some test fitting I found the fuselage has a bit of a warp problem. 🤪 The wheel wells were in place in the 1st photo but I was able to work them loose and remove them in the next 2 photos. I'll work on straightening it out at least to a workable degree. Now I remember why it was on the SOD (and it just might return there!).

Another fugitive from the SOD up next. I plan to do this one as another RLAF AT-28C with weapons, etc. It should go well with the 1st one I did a while back.

You are too kind!

Thank you. I like 'em too!

Thanks Peter.

Thank you Jeff!!! Very much appreciated!

Finished with this one. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19851-eduard-f6f-3-hellcat-rfi/

Finished with this one this afternoon. Nice little 1/48 kit of a -3 Hellcat that has very few cuss factors. At first I intended to build one with the later style national insignias but decided on this one as the red surrounds seem to really look good on the Hellcat. Painted with Tamiya Gloss White (undersides), Xtracolor Intermediate Blue, and Xtracolor Sea Blue. Decals all came from my decal stash. I hope you like it. Click on the 1st photo for best resolution ,etc.

I was glad to be of help Peter. Your Corsair is looking great!

Thanks! Takes a good bit of trimming, puttying, and sanding but a very possible "conversion". If I had another doner "D", preferrably Revell, I'd likely do another one.

Thanks Martin. I appreciate it.

Getting close to the finish line.

Actually Peter tomorrow (Sunday) is the day unless I get on a roll later today (Saturday).

Decaling completed. Exhaust stains and some weathering next.

LOL More likely Sunday but we'll see.

Thanks Peter. The build is going well. I'm starting on the decaling today so it shouldn't be long before it's finished.

Been working on this one for a few days and decided I'd go on and post some pictures. Painting about done except for some touchup. Decaling next then weathering, etc.

Thanks Chris. I'm glad you like the results of my "labors". LOL

Thank you Jeff! I'm pleased that you like it.

Looks to be coming along fine Peter.

Thank you Peter. I think this build will wrap up the FM-2 builds for me.

All done with this build. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19836-eduard-148-fm-2-build-3-rfi/

These little Wildcats are nice kits and build up without too many headaches (except for the engine mounts and landing gear). No after market stuff on this one, all OOB including the decals. Painted with Tamiya flat white, Testor's MM Intermediate Blue, and Colourcoats Sea Blue. Oversprayed with Alclad clear flat.

Coming right along.

I've always liked the FM-2's and was pleased when Eduard issued the kit. It does justice to the real a/c as it's a nicely detailed, etc kit.
