Agreed and maybe Trumpter should mark the kit box as to A & B Team and price the kit accordingly. 
Keep ‘em comin

THAT is a good idea Peter!

Wish I'd not decided to fold mine... it caused me to shelve the kit for a bit... I'll take mine out again soon though, need my Butch O'Hare plane!

I figure folding them would be a high cuss-factor operation. Good luck with your build!

Good progress now. The undersides are painted and I'm just about ready to paint the uppers.

Terrific progress as your Wildcat looks fantastic with primer.

Thanks Peter. I have to say, it LOOKS like a Wildcat! LOL After the painting and decaling are done it ought to look pretty nice. I have another set of Wolfpack decals coming from SB. The one I ordered previously is 1/48!!! I hate it when I screw up like that! (Not the 1st time either.)

Main painting done. I'll hit it with some clear gloss so I can add the decals. Then some weathering, etc.

Thanks Harv! For some reason the 2nd picture is "off" a bit in color. The background should show up as gray not red-brown. Go figure.

I just figured it was lighting....harv

[harv]

Definitely lighting ! Much better....harv

That looks just the job, ready for the markings which should really bring it to life.

Cheers

It would be pity to leave unfilled  seam on the wing root.

Thanks Kai! I'll have it finished in a day or two since the decals I was waiting for have arrived.
