Well, I started backdating an old Revell F4F-4 to a "-3" and then, said, "Why not?" And am working on painting it up as a USAAC bird with the 5th Air Force, and a Survivor of the Far East Air Force. Wish me luck!

"Mind that bus." "What bus?" *SPLAT!*

A Navy Wildcat serving in the US Army! That would curl some people's hair then and now! I say go for it!

Actually it's replacing the real XP-34 with the Wildcat.

I did one last year and funny enough I also called it a P-34  <_< <_< <_< <_<

An F4F biplane with wings from an SBC would also be an option?! Hmmm....

Do you mean:
P-34A=F4F-1
P-34B=F4F-2
P-34C=F4F-3
? ;D

 :mellow:  Nice concept.

Upon completion, to ensure balance in the what-if universe, you must navalise a USAAC bird.  ;)
