Ron
Very nice build and I concur, it is a fun kit to make. I like the markings on your version, the original kit decals were very basic.

Thanks Ron,
I was just wondering as the colours seemed lighter then I expected.
123 and 224 it will be
Cheers |

Beautifully-done, Ron. You'll get the hang of this caper, soon

Hi Brews,
Thanks for you kind remarks about the Wildcat.
As for "getting the hang of this caper soon" I doubt it because I have been doing it for 73 years (first kit was 1:72 scale Skybirds Hawker Hart - kit No 20A in theri range of wooden models -which I was given for Christmas in 1935). Even after all this time and countless attempts at different models I still find that I cannot get one that is 100% right. I am sure that you know what I mean? However recent ones are certainly superior to my earlier efforts.
It is revealing to put the newer ones next to the 30-40 year old models in the display cabinet. I hope to do this later this year with the Bv141 and the FW189 kits.
Best
Ron. |

Constant, incremental improvement is what it's all about. You never fail to impress with your completed models |
