FM-2 Wildercat #3

[JohnB]

Started my 3rd build on a 1/48 Eduard FM-2 Wildercat. VERY nice kit and a enjoyable build.

Great choice and love anything from Grumman's and republic being a Long Island Boy. Nice start and my money is on you finishing your Wildcat way before I finish my Corsair.

Good progress today. Now to begin assembling the engine and landing gear parts. The landing gear parts, I remember from my 2 previous builds, are very fiddly with possible high cuss factors! 🤪

Looking good and your steady progress is something I keep trying to replicate but fail miserably at.

Thank you Peter. Just coming along with it. Don't rush yourself as that's when you get in a fix! LOL

Nice work John! The Wildcat... A favorite of mine! Love fat, little planes..

I 16, I 153, Gee bee racers, and, of course, Brewster Buffalos! I have the

48th Tamiya and the 32nd Trumpy offerings... Built the Revell 32nd kit in

the 80s. Will watch!

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.

Coming right along.
