Looks great Phantom. The shade of blue looks great in your pictures.

Re: Pic's F4F-4 Wildcat USS Ranger

I think that it is a different approach that C1 took, but I don't think that it looks bad.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Yeah, nice, thanks for posting your great photos. A friend of mine just bought this and he loves it. He did some checking and yes the Ranger had -4's in this garb.

Re: Pic's F4F-4 Wildcat USS Ranger

So am I correct in assuming that this is 1/48? Who is the manufacturer?

I'm flabbergasted myself, Ara1! That Wildcat is looking very nice indeed. Decisions....decisions...which one to get - - this one or Carousel's Wildcat, hmmmmm.....

Btw, thanks for the gorgeous pics Phantom Phan!

Hell, I've settled my dilemma....Just ordered this puppy from Wings & Wheels!!!

That Franklin Mint F4F looks nice.........They did a good job for being a first timer on the wildcat.

The F4F looks really good.. If FM can continue this detail into new molds, it may be a player again..
