Eduard Yellow Wing Wildcat

[Big10]

Just finished up this Yellow Wing Wildcat from Eduard's Midway boxing. Great kit and goes together great.

Nice scheme!

The yellow is the hardest part. Have to build multiple coats and then I use some of Tamiya's polishing compound to smooth it out.

I attempted one a while back and started with a flat white base if I recall correctly. Then slow build up of the yellow.

Trying to figure out the right version from Arma Hobby's range to make this one:

 

[moon puppy]

2 gun ports, single cowl flap, nonfolding wings. Has to be a -3.
edit, Martlet Mk IV? Paint scheme doesn't seem to fit a -3.

Selectively ignoring it.

Any other photos of that?
This would have to be an FM2 then.

Definitely a pacific theater FM-2, four guns and the exhaust unique to the FM-2.
