1/72 F4F-3S Wildcatfish

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

 

As a starting point, I took Academy's 1:72 Wildcat kit. On the end, it appears that I've used only 7 parts of original kit, and that are  right fuselage half, right horizontal stabilizer, two parts of right wing, windshield, airscrew and  and front engine rim.

All others, more than 1200 parts, including floats, are scratch.

The model has a fully detailed interior, with all details inside, including batteries, air tank, radios, compass, rudder cables, electrical wiring and so on.  A one month project, but I enjoyed every minute.

Greetings from Croatia
