Here is a 1/144 scale General Motors FM-2 Wildcat kit made by SWEET models. These kits are absolutly beautiful. Great detail, and good quality decals. The cats are the company's mascot, I guess. This was a great little kit to build. The kit came with the deck cut-out, deck platform, and the crew members.

Penny, that looks like a really great build. I'd love to see a few more pics. I can't believe how good your canopy came out. I can't do 1/48 scale canopies that crisply.

Congrats on a very good job...1/144 scale is not for the faint of heart...

Cheers,
Mike

A very nice little kit Penny. The backdrop really adds to the overall effect. Please post some more pics.

Penny - Your interest in the "Teeny Weeny" Scale is great (it is much overlooked), and you do terrific work with it, please show us some more photos, and keep up the great work. I've tried a few 1/144 and find the detail amazing for the size, your efforts really make them look good.
