| F4F Wildcat Does anyone who already owns one could please give me their thoughts about this diecast? I am contemplating to purchase one soon and I would really appreciate your feedback with some hi-res pictures if possible. Thanks much! I am particularly interested in the scheme shown below. It would make a nice partner for my FM SBD Dauntless with the same pre-war livery, too!  #6182 F4F-3 WILDCAT - CHARLES SHIELD,M USN, GUANTANAMO, JAN, 1941  | ||||||||||||||

| Re: F4F Wildcat They are nice planes. I have the "Butch" O'Hare version, which I picked up on sale. My recommendation is to wait until you can pick it up for under $60.00. By far the best Carousel 1 planes are their FW 190 D's followed by the Bf 109 E's. The P-40's and Wildcats are neck-in-neck for third place. I have not seen the Franklin Mint's Wildcat offerings (except for some not to helpful pictures/art work), which would be the most direct competitor. | ||||||||||||||

| Re: F4F Wildcat O have the Thatch and O Hare ones. I think that they are great. Good color schemes, and great detail. | ||||||||||||||

| Re: F4F Wildcat Fly... I received the Shields pre-war Wildcat this weekend. I hope to have some time to look over it today or tomorrow. I will post a detailed review as soon as I can. Sorry, I can't post pics, but Mark's pics posted when the Shields's Wildcat came out are as good as any you will get. | ||||||||||||||
