I picked up a gem from flEaBay having made the squadron rebox of the F6F-5 a while back and have been making slow progress on this offering.
The Mk. I is in the lead with paint complete in an ETO scheme.
At a crazy time in my shop so got “real” work getting in the way of all my fun/ normal pace of 6 at a time. Luckily and unfortunately all my projects install before turkey day so I got a decent sized pin in my models till then.

Looks good, Marks!
A bit too dirty for me, but that’s up to everyone’s taste …
Have built that dual combo also in 2021.
Yeah I figured it’s a fun one to put through the wringer. Referenced this photo of the fastest tanning bed in the royal navy.

Nice job on that duo, Marks! Well done!
Especially I like the faded look of “132”. What paints did you use?

Mine looks a little different to yours but it’s from the same kit as yours …
Have also used Vallejo paints.
