1/48 Tamiya F4F Wildcat

by Jens Gerber

--------------------

 

I built my F4F after my Bike Crash, an attempt to relive old times.  For paints I have always liked using colors of JPS, http://www.jpsmodell.de/dc/usn.htm
The resin seat is from
Ultracast.

For weathering I used oil paints, Gunze, Kriede and dust from around home.    Decals were from other models, I found the Tamiya decals to be too thick.  I shot the photos with a Pentax Optio 230....attitude Macro 3 specialty zoom or simply only....normal and zoom....no idea there from. 

Extras, the canons barrels were made out of metal.
Bye the next flyer Model
