Nothing really important since there is no internal view or just a few. Anyway, why not? So I'm going to make something like a fuel tank...

Should we modify the position of the windows, it will become necessary to redo engraving on two centimeter deep.

1/32 okay I do.
1/48 forget!

Before processing to the rear part of the tank, we have to look at the front. Firewall first then landing gear systems.

Well my friends that some ants work you are doing there
How many hours do you pass on researches? For every detail that for most of the time will not even be visible?
Cool

Hi "Cousin" ... Razz

It takes me a month. Documentation is a lot of hours, let say 50 hours may be. Assembling needs less time may be 30 hours.
My problem (may I go to a specialist?) as soon as I know there is something somewhere, even cannot be seen, I have to do it. Razz

Thanks for your follow-up. cheers

Have got a reply concerning the mysterious Tank (55 on the doc).
The said contains cooling for compressor. F4F-3 / F4F-4 doesn't equipped at that time.

Lets go to the Engine :

We are close to final assembly, so I urge to make a choice on marking...

Prior to that have a break.
Wildcat was fighting against A6M ZEK. Early combat was hard. ZEK was speeder, with better maneuverability, pilots was well trained.
Wildcat have good armored, strong engine, and very combative pilots.
That was not enough.

During Midway Battle, one Navy pilote tested with success a new combat technic.
