The Wildcat in formation with some of its older and more battered FAA and RAF comrades. |

The model, at over 28g, was much heavier than other , similar sized, WW2 models that I have built. The barrel-like fuselage is fairly massive and the short nose required many grams of weight for balance. |

The model represents a Royal Navy Martlet used in North Africa in 1942. I tried to give it a dusty, desert-weathered finish. |

Here you can see the balsa spars, that frication-fit into paper tubes in the wings. |

I covered the model with grey tissue (chalked with light blue) and beige tissue (chalked with light brown) |

I made the wings removable with sacrificial balsa spars. This has already saved the model from damage, after a nose dive into the gym floor during trimming. |
