Yellow Winged Wildcat
Posted by CallSignOWL on Sunday, August 2, 2015 11:14 AM

I figure I'd share some of the builds Ive done while I was away, and first up is the 1/72 quick-build wildcat form hobbyboss. I built this guy straight out of the box, and decided to add a bit of color to my collection.

Painted with testors silver rattle can, and those little square enamel jars

Now that I'm here, where am I??

Very nice job.  There's always something appealing about those yellow wings.

Looks great!  I have always loved the golden age paint schemes like that.  Have done several biplane fighters, and have a devastator  I plan to do in that scheme.

I didn't realize the Yellow Wing scheme had insignia up on the cowling as well?? Interesting. That 1:72 stuff is just a tad too tiny for me. Nicely done. =]
