1/72nd scale F4F-4 Wildcats over Casablanca( And Others)

<< < (2/12) > >>

DaveB:
Another great job from your stable, Rick -

I note you have added some aftermarket parts, but was the standard kit reasonable?

Regards

Dave

Well done

Thanks Andreas. I sold a couple of things and got the Arma F4F-4. So another Wildcat in 1/72nd scale will eventually appear in Operation Torch Markings  ::)

I've always loved that scheme, my Dad missed Torch by a matter of a couple of months, but he had Wildcats Over Casablance and I read it a couple of times. I actually began research for a painting of an F4F dueling with a Curtiss Hawk 75 with the old Lafayette insignia and the red/yellow Vichy stripes, but it would have been a little too colorful...

Thanks Dave! The book is great, IMHO. I plan to do some of the other squadrons involved using the Arma kit and probably an Airfix Wildcat with Folded wings. I also want initially do a Hawk 75 in the markings you describe as well as a D520. Oddly I can't seem to locate either. I guess they are not in current production runs from anyone  :(

Thanks Dave! The original Interior is Very Basic!  A floor with side consoles, a basic seat, and Flat IP / Decal. There is No Detail in the gear well at all.
