I'm very fussy about scale, after all I do a lot of 1:72 scale planes. It all has to be perfect ;)

Im not sure just how accurate the scale outline is. Would be interesting to know though.

Nice model! Are those wings a bit bigger than on the real thing (especially the tail plane)?

I found the wav files on a warbird website. I dont know how to strip sounds from other videos. Wish I did.

For sure. Those …
For sure. Those were a really nice touch. Did you get them in a group of sound effects or strip them out of another video?

cfvettes @ 12:00 am

Thanks and you are …
Thanks and you are probably right about the designation numbers. Did you like the radial engine sound bytes I had at the beginning and end?

Very nicely done video. An even better job on the model. The only noticeable thing was the two-bladed prop. FWIW, I believe that is an F6F-5, though. The -4 models had a small rear window that proved to be useless so it was deleted on the later model.

The F4F Wildcats came in -3 and -4 models with the -4 having folding wings. Impressive job overall!
