Or maybe not... Didn't realise how frangible Techmod decals can be!

Nice!
Ready for a little weathering?

Well, I wasn't going to but since you ask... I didn't have access to a good picture of this particular aircraft and I'm not too familiar with how Wildcats weather so I just gave a general grimy wash and tipped in a few silver patches to suggest bare metal, using a profile of 41-F-8 as a guide.

It will be sufficient enough... I don't think this kind of plane had enough time to be heavily weathered...

Just what I thought!
