Thanks a lot Rowan!

Of course both aircraft were carrier based and the situation is not fully suited, but it sets the models (Nick these are actually 2 ) in perspective.

I have a Build log for the FM-2 and for the F4F-3 there is at least this thread ... just if you want to read a bit about the construction ....

thanks for the kind comment Nick!

all the best

Hi Steffen,
nice Wildcats you have made, I also like these Hobbyboss kits (have all version in my pile, as I also want to build some Martlets). In the meantime this dio is well known here. I visited Mark last weekend, because I had some Vietnam Warriors for him. With this perfect weather on Saturday, we took some pictures of my latest Warhawks on his dios .....

Happy modelling

Thank you Torsten and Jesper!

@Torsten: yes we have (mis)used his Dios for several settings already, haven't we. and the garden gives a very nice background...

all the best

Nice work, Steffen- gotta love those Cats! I've been quietly following your builds and have enjoyed them immensely. I have a Hobbyboss F4F-4 and the Eduard brass sets- gotta finish a couple of builds so I can dig into a "simple" build! ;D

Cheers on a great diorama-

Thank you Chuk and Yoni!

hey Chuck .. I am enjoying your threads too, though i think you go over board with some aspects of your builds, so it would be nice to watch a "simple" build of you as a diversion

cheers

Steffen
