F4F-4 Wild Cat Joe Foss VMF 121 1/48 Tamiya

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.

Wow that is a nice build. The engine is top shelf.

Outstanding work

Nice build!

Looks great!

Very nice attention to details!

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!

I second the comments on the engine plus I’d like to add…WOW

What a great job, fantastic !!
