Here we are. 2017. A new year with new hopes and dreams. It is time however to finish something off. In July I began my annual tribute to those who died and to those who survived the attack on Hawaii, December 7, 1941. Although it began much like the previous issues it ended a bit different. In September I made contact with the editor of Military Modelling. He was introduced to me by a mutual friend and was interested in my work. I showed him my progress on the Wildcat and he asked me to go dark so that it could be published in the magazine. I agreed. The issue was published and went public in early December. I waited til now to post anything public as I wanted to respect the wishes of the magazine. Now with the newest edition of the magazine making its public debut very soon it is time. A Marine Wildcat from Ewa. The markings are from several sets and portray MAG-21 as they appear December 1941. The specific aircraft however is very fictional, at least I am unable to verify the aircraft number existed.    And the glamour shots.   Thanks to all who followed this build. This particular build is very important to me each year and the fact it made publication as part of a tribute edition made it so much more special. All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |

Joe...............if I hear you say one more time that your work aint all that great I swear I'm going to loose it. Truly great work bud. If that magazine publication aint proof enough then I just don't know what to tell you.

Glad to see it in the final form Joe! An excellent piece of work and a fitting tribute for inclusion in the 75th Pearl issue!
