Markh's Grumman F7F-3 Tigercat. (monogram 1:72).
EDIT: Build thread here: https://uamf.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=20737;
I've listed it in 1950s because the Tigercat was too late to see service in WW2, but was around for the Korean War and in the 1950s. Thus completed this morning.
I added the props Danger lines and 'Danger' labels myself, also the black walkway over the wings at the wing roots.
Looks Stunning!!! (if i say so meself )

Re: Postwar - 50s
Thank you Paul! I’m very pleased with this build, the painting especially as it was my first all gloss finish! Using a primer is essential for a good finish. That colour is hard enough but a coat of primer meant that the model only needed two coats of glossy sea blue rather than 3 or 4.

Re: Postwar - 50s
Thank you, yes I’m very pleased with that, very clean lines and shiny paint! A treat to look at and looks fantastic in the cabinet.
