Where did you get the decals?
Thankyou. The markings come from 5 different generic sheets. But they do represent a real aeroplane.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

Nice to see a wildcat wearing some different markings. She's come out very nicely and kudos to you for leaving the canopy open. Well done!

Splendid work! Don't think I've seen (or noticed) US roundal with that yellow ring on a Navy aircraft before.

What's next? :-D

Great job for such a short timespan!
