This is my last project: FM-2 Wildcat from Arma Hobby in 1:72 scale. It will be in Joseph McGraw camouflage.
Till now I glued some parts of cockpit and engine, painted them and applied decals in cockpit.
Hope You like it.

Looks good. I built the Arma Hurricane Mk I, it was a bit fiddly and had lots of great detail. This is looking like the same thing. Good luck with it. Look forward to your progress.

Small update. Engine parts painted. I glued some parts in landing gear bay.

Andrzej, always good to see an Arma Kit being built-watching with interest!

I finished landing gear bay and glued the fuselage. I also glued wings.

Detail in the engine bay looks great, pity it all hides behind the P&W radial. Great work so far Andy.

You are right Tim. P&W and landing gear hide almost everything.

I glued some parts together and … it looks like Wildcat

Landing gear - put together 6 parts is not very easy but i did it.

It is looking like a Wildcat, almost ready to fly

Time to paint:

A bit postshading:

Now it’s time for Clear Gloss.

Andy_W · 9 August 2021 12:01

I added gloss cote and applied decals.

Wow, thought you were doing a Fleet Air Arm Wildcat when you applied the first coat of paint. Looks great with the added colour from the decals. You must be really pleased
