LOL Scott. I'm glad you like it. It's a real easy and enjoyable build and I doubt you'll have any problems. I look forward to seeing yours.

Thank you Kevin. I'm pleased you like the little Wildercat build!

Thank you Peter. No harm in wishing that's for sure. We will see!

This one is done and RFI: https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19688-eduard-wilder-cat-fm-2-completed/

This is a very nice kit of a subject that has been neglected in the past. The FM-2 is one that I've liked for a long time and was happy to see where Eduard had decided to issue one (in 1/48 but beggars can't be choosers!) I wonder if they are considering one in 1/32? THAT would be great! This model was done OOB except for the decals which are Aeromaster. Painted with Testor's GSB and oversprayed with Alclad clear semi-gloss after decaling was completed. I have another on the shelf that I plan to do in the 3-tone scheme. I hope y'all like it! PLEASE click on the 1st image for best resolution and to view as a slide show. THANKS!!

Maybe, maybe not. 🙃 We'll see.

Thanks Peter. Next I'll finish the Wildcat but what's up after that I haven't decided yet. I'd like to do another P-51 racer but we will see.

Thanks Kurok. I'm glad you like it. I think my favorite is the "N" since you can do so many different color schemes.

Thanks Harv!

Finished with this one. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19687-hasegawa-49th-fg-p-40e-rfi/

Finished with this one! Mostly OOB except for FineMolds belts and Grey Matter props. Painted with Mr. Color acrylics and Testor's enamel. Kit decals. I hope you like it.

LOL Carl! I'm glad you like them.

Thanks. It's such a easy kit to build ya just can't help but "fly" through it.

Thank goodness for Tamiya masking tape!!!

Turned out really well Peter! A lot of work to get it that way!!! I LIKE it!

Painting done. I'll spray some clear gloss then start decaling.

Me too! It was just the wing insignias which hadn't been in place long. I re-wet them and tweeze'd ''em up. No sweat.

Agreed, the Wildcat looks really good. Those are some old Aeromaster decals. I started on the kit decals but they didn't turn out too well so I pulled 'em off and got out my decal file on the Wildcat and found a couple of Aeromaster sheets I had had for a good while that were just waiting to be used!

Nice thought Peter but a bit too late for that.

Ready for painting.

Thanks. Darn near ready for paint! Going a lot faster than I expected it would so I might set it aside for a bit and resume working on the FM-2 since it's ready for decaling.

Thanks Kevin. So far so good.

Thanks Carl. I agree, that tail section join line was a real PITA. I did the best I could but I think it will still show some. I'll live with it. This is such a easy kit to build (everything FITS except for the tail section) it should go fast. One of these days I'll have to start on something that will take a good while to build I guess LOL.

As usual the fit is excellent.

Thanks Mike. The undersides and part of the uppers are Gunze Mr. Color Gloss White acrylic but I ran out and finished it with good ol' Testor's Gloss White. I was a little concerned the Testor's enamel might not "agree" with the acrylic but it did just fine.
