    Fleet Air Arm 1:72 Kits

    Hi folks,

    my interest at the moment lies with Fleet Air Arm aircraft from WW2, I'm trying to get together kits for as many of these as possible. So far I have:
    Blackburn Skua (Revell).
    Fairey Swordfish (Revell).
    Fairey Fulmar(Airfix).
    Fairey Firefly(Novo).
    Fairey Barracuda(Frog).



    Can anyone suggest some others that are fairly easily obtainable and not likely to be too expensive?
    I have not seen either a Roc or Albacore, are these out there?
    I just recently read a book on WW2 carriers and mentioned within was a FAA plane called Martlet, anyone give me some info on this aircraft.
    Wow thats a lot of questions, well any help will be much appreciated!
    Best Regards,
    Chris

    g'day mate

    I've been digging around Google and Wikipedia and they all state that your A/C called the Martlet, was in fact the early name for the F4F Wildcat

    Thanks scooter, just read a little(never think of google, me and computers, nah!), seems they were diverted from France to England and named Martlet here. Interesting.

    Here you are more info for Wildcat/Martlet with the link below.

    F4F Wildcat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    I can suggest the 1/72 scale Academy plastic kit No.1650 for the machine model.It shouldn't be expensive.

    Academy 1/72 Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat

    There are a couple of 1/72 scale kits that are offered by HobbyBoss.These are also nice but a little bit much expensive.

    Here some top-boxes:
