Hobbyboss FM-2 Wildcat

Post by customtk »

Finally finished the Wildcat, so I can now get back to the WWII build.
This is my first hobbyboss kit and I really enjoyed the build, I know there has been some criticism on the shape of this kit, but it went together with out issue
Hardy any filler and the decals are top quality and I was lucky I brought the kit at an air show for under a £10

And people say the Wildcat is ugly - that thing looks amazing :th:
There can be only one!
Unless your building two, or three, or four - ah to hell with it.

I really like what you did with the exhaust and paint chipping.

Exceptional work!

For under 10 quid it was a bargain, or should i say you have made this kit look a right bargain, very nicely done indeed.
