Parallel build of tho Wildcat kits. First is Hasegawa simply just out of the box, only with aftermarket engine. Second one is Academy F4F made as Martlet, with aftermarket cockpit, engine and decals. Later I bought the Eduard PE set 73538 designed for Airfix kit to help me out scratching the wall between the cockpit and the landing gear bay not present in both kits. I also used the colored cockpit fret to improve the Hasegawa cockpit with good result. This build is already pushing my limits since I never scratch-built or worked with PE or resin parts before and I really think about buying the Airfix kit to relax after I get over with these two.
