Academy 1/72 Grumman F4F-4. Being one of the cheapest kits I have (I spent 6 bucks I think?), I was really surprised with the kit quality. If it wasn't for that #$%^ undercarriage, I would actually give it top marks for a beginners kit. Now, it does have several technical issues for purists in its depiction of an F4F-4 (and oh gosh - the pilot figure is wanting, but you can only build this with a closed canopy anyway). Still, it went together well, and I think looks fine, out of the box, when painted. I am trying to learn the middle road for weathering, and have gotten more comfortable making my own canopy masks. I have to go early Pacific war markings whenever possible, so I got 3rd party decals from PrintScale. Markings are for one of my favorite pilots: "Swede" Vejtasa of VF-10, USS Enterprise, markings from October 26, 1942, Battle of Santa Cruz. Swede flew two Combat Air Patrols. Shot down two Japanese torpedo bombers in the first CAP, and 5 dive bombers later the same day. An Ace in a day. However author John Lundstrom states that Japanese records only list two dive bombers lost in that attack, oh well.

Hoping for a less eventful build with this one compared to some recent work I did.

After some time not being happy with the body color, I went ahead with a Vallejo Ash Grey and finished. It turned out more green than I expected, but I think it turned out ok. Actually had fun mixing my own washes with oil paints/thinner. Other than my paint indecision, this was a fun build. Next - I want to get more familiar with OPR.

Going to set this one aside. I started to apply decals, and every one cracked on me. Then I went to use the stripes for the scheme I had selected (and painted the spinner to match) and their lengths don't seem to be correct. I am moving on to build a few other things, will come back later to it. Maybe...

So I went back to this after almost a year. With a clearer head, I figured out that my headaches were due to the instructions calling out the wrong stripe decals for a few positions. In the end, the quality of the decals were quite good. The simplicity of the Hobby Boss model bothered me. For example, you can only do a build with gear down, but the inside gear covers are molded in the closed position. However, in the end I am glad that I decided to build this. It gave me a good chance to try NMF for the first time. I love the P-51, and have a Tamiya in my stash I will build in the future, with less frustrations, I hope.
