JohnB Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Started my 3rd build on a 1/48 Eduard FM-2 Wildercat. VERY nice kit and a enjoyable build. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 John 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share Posted December 14, 2023 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! 🤪 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
