Main painting is now complete. I primed in white Mr Finishing Surfacer 1500 because of the general lightness of the color scheme. Mr. Color lacquers were used for the main colors. Pretty catchy pre-war scheme. Decals are next.

The Red Ripper 1850 is now complete. Light weathering only as the plane was depicted as new and saw no combat at this point. After the photos I realized I forgot to remove the masks from the landing light and the lower windows. Thanks for looking. Comments and critiques always welcome.

Definitely eye-catching, and very well made. It looks like the real thing.

Even though I'm not a fan of these colourful U.S. subjects, your Wildcat is a stunner Jim 👍 Truely inspiring work!!
