Thanks Ara 1 for the pictures.

I am missing a F4F in my WWII 1:48 collection, but I can not make up my mind as to whether I should go for the A/FM one of the C1 model.
You seem to be happy with your C1, would you reccommend it ?

Hi Saeta,
Here's a pretty good thread on the (2) different brands of Wildcats.
FM F4F Wildcat vs. Carousel 1 F4F Wildcat

Greetings Saeta,

Having seen both C1/FM Wildcats, I favor the C1 you see on this thread: better tailwheel; rocking scheme; landing geat options; pilot figure; engine slightly more detailed. Plus I prefer how C1 presented the skin of the aircraft, less rivety than FM's.

Of course I'm on a huge bias high right now.

All four US Buffalos are due to my door in January!!!

Elmer plugs, huh? I kinda like the sound of it! Ara, you can be my speech writer as I campaign for screwhead free diecast... Nice pics! I've got both of these.

Oh, hiiiii Elmer!

Yes you have moved the Art of Diecast forward with your well-articulated expectations!

Greetings buddy!
