1/48 Tamiya F4F-4 Wildcat

--------------------

 

Here's my Tamiya F4F-4 Wildcat. It's built OOB with the addition of some CE poseable seatbelts.  Very nice kit that goes together very well with minimal filler.  I used Aeromaster acrylics for the finish with a black enamel wash to highlight the panel lines.  The only drawback is the canopy is too narrow/thick to pose in the open position.  You need to use a replacement vacuform one from Squadron if you want the canopy slid back.

If you're looking for a quick build to cure AMS this is one to get.
