Dave ( thug626) has been at MSC now since 2013 and I remember when things were in full swing around here he could be found right in the middle of the action putting out these great model works of his. One such example is this Tamiya Wildcat that he built here almost 6 years ago with a Wolfpack wing fold kit, and lots of extra goodies from Aires, Quickboost and Squadron. The results he attained with this bird are a true testament to his abilities as a modeler and one that finds its place very nicely at the top of the page. Glad you're back with us here Dave.  The build thread: Tamiya F4F-4 Wildcat   |

Thank you for the high praise gentlemen. It was a tribute build to Maj Gen Marion Eugene Carl, who was a fellow Oregonian.

Very cool. The wing fold is awesome. Grumman sto-wing system was so ingenious

Some beautiful skin wrinkles you did with just paint! Way before the days when the injection molders try to simulate it…
