This is the 1/48 F8F-2 by
Testors. I built this model mostly
out of box, except I used True detail wheels and Super Scale decal sheet number
48-431.

I built up the aircraft per
the instructions and the model went together fairly easily, the fit was well and
the use of filler was not needed. I
then primed and painted the aircraft Dark Sea Blue and then clear coated and
applied the decals. After these set
for a few days I clear coated again with a Gloss clear to give the aircraft
fairly new look so weathering was kept to a minimum.
