Voir er Savoir 16 - F4F "Wildcat"

What a sweet box... I expect nothing less from Sweet. 

Such fine details. Lovely. Their kits really are a joy to build. 

A quick dry fit to get a look at things. 

Space drilled out for the motor. 

Engine painted. 

DC Motor fit in place and all wired up. 

Apparently the pilot is shy... so no pics. But he's in there under the canopy masking. Now for a coat of black under shading. 

Underside of the fuselage painted light grey, then masked for the top. 

With the blue on, it’s starting to look like a Wildcat. Since it's basically a WHIF, I didn't bother trying to figure out the exact right shade of blue. 

Ah yes, the propeller... 

Engine test... GOOD! 

And that's more or less a wrap! I still need a radio antenna though...
