Jimmy Thach's ride - F4F-3 Wildcat in 1:100 from S&P / Gerry
Next up the lil' Wildkitty from S&P and Gerry's Models. Added some formers that are not in the kit to maintain the correct rear fuse shape. I also cut off Bruno's overlap formers and turn them into butt formers. To me it makes for a better assembly.

Here at the Bethpage assembly plant Leroy Grumman is showing some Navy brass around at his latest design. One of the workers is grumbling to his mate "I sure wish Mr. Grumman would find a way to fold these damn wings so we could have more space on the floor".

(True story, I found it on the Intertnet)..
