Description
Discover the latest addition to our model kit collection: the pre-war/early-war solid-wing -3 version of the Wildcat! This all-new tooling brings a fresh perspective to the classic model, and it's sure to impress with its attention to detail and quality. Let's dive into how it compares to the renowned Big T’s kit.
- The surface detail is exceptionally fine and recessed, showcasing all the rivets in line with the latest trends from Chinese kits.
- The panel lines on the wing are meticulously crafted to accurately represent the -3 version.
- The cockpit design is historically accurate, featuring just foot troughs instead of a floor, although it does omit the fuel tank under the cockpit. This minor detail can be easily remedied with a bit of creativity using sheet styrene to prevent a "see through" effect through the lower windows.
- Both intercoolers are included in this kit, marking an improvement in design, though they might not be visible without a closer inspection.
- Underwing drop tanks are also provided. While not historically accurate for the -3 versions, they make a great addition to your spares box after filling the holes in the lower wing.
- The kit comes with markings for an early-war VF-3 aircraft and a VMF-224 aircraft, allowing for customization and historical accuracy in your model.
