Tamiya's 1/48th Scale F4F-4 Wildcat in the tri color scheme worn by VF-22 aboard the USS Independence, late 1942. Paint is Tamiya acrylics thinned with Mr. Color Leveling Thinner. Decals are from the kit and the only additions are some Eduard photoetch for the cockpit. It went together well, but joining the wing to the fuselage means that unless you achieve a perfect fit, you'll be losing some molded detail, some of which is raised. Other than that, the fit was perfect. I used rolled up Blue Tac poster putty to get a softer edge between the blues, but for some reason, it came out as a pretty straight line. Oh well.
Man! Two for one. I thought I was seeing double for a moment. lol Very nice. Are the demarcation lines that sharp on the actual subject?

Very nice.I hate making changes at this point in a build, but it's not too late to soften the lines. I use paper masks that fit loose at the edges, then I can see how much blending I will get by how far the paper is above the plastic.
