Soeren R.Not for that😉

Cristian BordinaThank you Jose !!!
@Soeren: The Yahu panel it's a really wonder... only in 1/72 you need a lens to appreciate it 😄 This F4F is really a great kit, only I have had some difficulties to fit the cockpit in the fuselage valves. I have had to use the abrasive paper to thin the width of the cockpit and putty to fill the joints.

Harry EderVery nice Wildcat 👍 Which color did you use for that aircraft? It look´s similar to the color I need for my Super Puma helo.

Cristian BordinaCiao Harry, thank you for your appreciation 🙂 I've used Humbrol 125 for upper, and Humbrol 129 for lower.... so, good job with your Super Puma😉

Dave FlittonLooks really good, I like the Yahu panel - it brings the cockpit to life, looks like Yahu is in my future purchases

Cristian BordinaThanks Dave, Yahu panel is really good. I must reduce it a little to fit in the pit, but if you look at it with a lens, it's incredibly perfect 🙂

Cristian BordinaThank you Soeren, unfortunately with handbrush the fading effect (grey blue on gull grey) that I would like to do, due to my skill, it was impossible to create 🙁

Soeren R.You deserved it Cristian😉
How was the build btw, because Ive two of them in my stash and they are looking really nice out of the box.

Cristian BordinaThank you very much Soeren 🙂 The build was been very pleasant, the only little problem is at the moment to fit the pit in the two fuselage valves. But with some abrasive paper, a little putty and a lot of swearing 🙂 the work was done. Oh I've just bought another kit to build it with wing "opened" 🙂
