Academy 1/72 Scale Gurmman F4F-4 Wildcat (Brush Painted)

[@septiccalling8341]

Lovely job 👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻 I really enjoy watching you do these. Sometimes all that complicated stuff gets too much. Nice to see a good, brushed finish too.

I am happy to hear that you enjoy my build videos and models. I do like to try and keep things nice and simple. Because trying to tackle all that aftermarket stuff in a model build, would terrify me if I made a mistake! Anyway, good luck with all your ongoing projects. And thanks for watching

I built this one in my youth - was my first experience of Academy - not a bad kit. Sadly not all Academy kits are as acceptable as this one lol. You did a great job on yours! P.S I sent you a DM on discord

[@ShuttleFactoryScaleModels]

Thank you, Matt glad you love it. This must have been a trip down memory lane for you. Would love to see you make a video on this kit. At least this time you will have Micro Sol or Micro Set to tackle those Academy Decals. Which have not changed in their “quality”

I have this kit in the Stash… Found PHOTO ETCH made specifically for this kit!!!!!! A big Fan of the WILDCAT like the IN FLIGHT look you made… And very resourceful on the Decals, it’s always good to have Spare Decals, Spare Pilot I know I do…. GREAT JOB 👍…… CHRIS from OHIO 🇺🇸

Thank you Chris I am glad you like my model of the legendary F4F Wildcat. I do not often make models in flight. But I could not pass the opportunity to use include stand. I was not aware there was a photo etch set for this kit. But good on you for finding one. Good luck with your build of this kit and thank you for watching.

Digging the mix of archival footage in the video, very entertaining and shows how closely you replicated the real deal plane. Awesome work!

[@ShuttleFactoryScaleModels]

Thank you I am happy you loved the both the model and the video. I always try to add archival footage (if I can find the right footage) with the build footage of the model, in my videos. Thanks for watching

[@ShuttleFactoryScaleModels]

Thank You!

[@claudiobragamonte4647]

Why you didn't use the pilot figure that comes with the kit? (Beautiful job btw)

[@ShuttleFactoryScaleModels]

Thank you so much. I am very happy to hear that you loved the look of this model. The reason why I went for an Airfix figure instead of the kits pilot. Is that I thought that the Airfix figure had a bit more detail.

Wheels-up *and* brush painted? You're talking my language, good sir. Subbed.
