My Favourite Plane In The World - EVAAARRH!

[Dave The Chef]

As you some of you know I'm totally in love with the F4F Wildcat(I even have Wildcat underpants :kiss: ) I'd thought I'd buy a special present for myself in the form of HobbyBoss's new 1/48 Wildcatfish -

I will be dropping all other builds to focus on this as I just can't get enough of this little-fat-ugly-mongoloid of a plane... oops did I say that out loud? :woohoo: :woohoo:
:yipee

I knew I had an uneasy feeling today...

I feel a disturbance in the force too Master Puppy!

 

[SA Dave]

The power of the dark side is strong in this one.

 

[nerdling]

I was beginning to wonder why Burns (aka Hell) Oregon had frozen over this morning.

 

[Paulw]

It seems as if SAD has a very strong influence in your life, Dave.

 

[sharkman]

I think it's cool Dave! I just bought one of these too but don't have the time to get into it yet so I'll follow with interest!

 

[razordws]

Aren't you done yet??? :frantic

 

[Dave The Chef]

You see chaps, this is what happens when you don't pay your respects to The Sacred Goat each and every night...

Dave, I have only just started to paint the cockpit -

:frantic

:frantic

Off to a good start on a beautiful airplane :tomato

 

[Dave The Chef]

Thankyou, thankyou :coolio
Now I have everything ready for the main paint work -

 

[phantom II]

You're making it look very easy as usual

Cheers, Christian B)

What offerings can this humble servant bring to offer the Sacred Goat? A bouquet of fresh flower or old empty can beans to eat? :tomato

Looking good Dave, can you imagine how this thing flew! :idonno

 

[Dave The Chef]

Yeah it must have flown like a brick :laugh:
Well I'm getting close with this one -

 

[jknaus]

Very cool. That looks so strange with floats and extra directional control. Nice shading on it too.

[moon puppy]

Strange that they would even consider putting that thing on floats. Looks great Dave, nailin' the shading.

 

[Paulw]

Strange that they would even consider putting that thing on floats. Looks great Dave, nailin' the shading.

And a C-47 and Ju 52 on floats aren't strange? :huh:

That is exactly what I was thinking Paul. Just saw some float images for the C-47 the other day and it made me think of this build. Weird.

Looking good Chef, and yes I do mean the plane.

 

[phantom II]

Looking ( strangely ) very sharp Dave

I have to admit that with the name catfish , I can't help but cringe when I think of this airframe

Cheers, Christian B)

 

[lupanzer]

Very good!...the shadows look great
