Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat in 1/72

[BradG]

This is the original boxing of their Wildcat that dates back to 1994. That said, it's still a great model with nice panel lines and superb fit. The decals however were the usual yellowed white and shattered when put in water. It was actually cheaper to buy myself the new Airfix Wildcat rather than an aftermarket decal sheet, so the markings here are from Airfix. This aircraft was from USS Ranger's VF 41 during Operation Torch. Looking through pictures these aircraft were worked pretty hard, with large cordite stains extending the length of the wings upper and lower. Colours used were Gunze 51 light gull grey and 337 USN grayish blue.
