The first finished build off the table for 2016! The F4F-4 Wild Cat of Joe Foss VMF-121 credited with 26 kills  . He was the second highest scoring ace of the Marine corp! Tamiya did a nice job with this kit ,the fit is excellent . I finished it with Model Master enamel and topcoated with Testors Dulcote.

All the other models on the shelf are nervous about who's getting bumped to make room for that one.

Glad you did not glue the cowling on, because that engine is fantastic. And a great job on the cockpit! Outstanding job!
