this is the Hobbyboss kit, very easy to build without problems, but a nice cockpit and engine and a good detail landing gear section...

A beauty!

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

great looking Wildcat

March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Good job on the Wildcat Peter.

Nice looking Cat

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.
