    **** DONE: 1/48 Martlet Mk V, HMS Fencer - Your Favorite Aircraft of All Time GB

    Username - brucejscott
    First Name - Bruce
    Category - Intermediate
    Scale - 1/48
    Manufacturer - Hobby Boss
    Model Type - FM-1 Wildcat
    Aftermarket Parts - None
    Decals - Ministry of Small Aircraft Productions Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat #4834





    This should come as no surprise, my favorite plane ( WW II era ) really is the Wildcat. Ugly it may be (beauty being in the eye of the beholder), it is one of the few aircraft that can boast the distinction of being in production and service on the first and last day of the war. Photos are not going to be forthcoming for at least ten days as my camera is with my kid and they are both winging their way to Austria for a ski trip. I will do my best to describe the progress in the interim.

    I take it the Wildcat is rather popular.

    nice choice IMO
    Fr President Clemenceau’s speech to the AIF 7th July 1918: “ we expected a great deal of (Australians)… We knew that you would fight a real fight, but we did not know that from the beginning you would astonish the whole continent. I shall go back and say to my countrymen “I have seen the Australians, I have looked in their faces …I know that they will fight alongside of us again until the cause for which we are all fighting is safe for us and for our children”.

    Nice choice. It'll be interesting to see how it compares to the Tamiya kit.
