Im buying every time cheap kits (ca.2-5 euro) if they can be used as test beds or for ideas when the effect cant be seen on paper....

Very nice! I love it! Something of an interim type between the F6F and the F8F (why not trying something similar to the jets, such as F9F-2 with a different name...hmmmm Hellcat derivative...bubblecat ? :) )
F6F-2 Bubblecat!

French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Damm, that does look good.

Looks like a cross between a Skyraider and a P-47.

And I like the name wolfcat

Hi, very nice work.  My first contribution to this group was a bubble canopy Hellcat.  I designated it a F6F-7 Hellcat as a continuation of that aircraft.   Keep up the good work!  Here is a pic of mine for you to check out.
