This is the 1/144 scale Sweet GM FM-2 Wildcat .

This kit is a little jewel - much better than the old Revell F4F kit. This release includes two kits in one box and five marking options (with one Atlantic scheme).

I added some details like a seat, instruments, stick and the canopy (made with acetate in the smash and heat technique) because I wanted to depict it in the open position.

The carrier deck was made with a wood card as used in HO trains. I used a pencil (0,5) to make the markings.

I want to say thanks to Marcelo Sassine for the nice shots with digital cam. Now I am eagerly awaiting the release of next kit of Sweet (Zero type 21).
