Aug 21, 2007 - Thanks and you are probably right about the designation numbers. Did you like the radial engine sound bytes I had at the beginning and end?
slrman Says:
Aug 21, 2007 - For sure. Those were a really nice touch. Did you get them in a group of sound effects or strip them out of another video?
cfvettes Says:
Aug 21, 2007 - I found the wav files on a warbird website. I dont know how to strip sounds from other videos. Wish I did.

Oct 16, 2007 - Nice model! Are those wings a bit bigger than on the real thing (especially the tail plane)?
cfvettes Says:
Oct 16, 2007 - Im not sure just how accurate the scale outline is. Would be interesting to know though.
SmiertSpionem Says:
Oct 17, 2007 - I'm very fussy about scale, after all I do a lot of 1:72 scale planes. It all has to be perfect ;)

Aug 21, 2007 - Very nicely done video. An even better job on the model. The only noticeable thing was the two-bladed prop. FWIW, I believe that is an F6F-5, though. The -4 models had a small rear window that proved to be useless so it was deleted on the later model. The F4F Wildcats came in -3 and -4 models with the -4 having folding wings. Impressive job overall!
