Thanks regardless!

The Wildcat/Martlet was never one of my favorite warplanes growing up, but I'm starting to think building one would be an enjoyable project. Your photos are helping me want to find a kit......

Now very important update on this topic- panel of the F4F with preserved Blue Grey color. This machine was used on Pacific and it was dumped few months before his pilot did not came and took panel as souvenir. Images here show it and note images name, they state are they are made in home, outside of home, in shadow or direct sun. There is also attached text with available data regarding operational service.

Do not share any of this data, they are not published!!!
