Anyone have any of the Easy Model F4F Wildcats?

i just discovered these. Some nice offerings. I have the USMC one on the way and want to get the Atlantic and Lexington ones eventually. They look pretty decent.

I've had an EM F4F Wildcat for a few years now - the USMC one in the mid-1942 markings. It is a nice little model. Obviously not much cockpit detail, but then the small cockpit is difficult to see behind the canopy framing. Overall, I've been happy with it and have it displayed with my other 1:72 scale PTO planes, including the Hobby Master F6F Hellcat and TBF Avenger, and the EM Wildcat fits right in.

a few years now? I had no idea they'd been around that long. I just found out about them...heh.

Yeah, I want to say I got mine around 2008 or so. Got it from Badcat I think. It's been a while...

I've had a bunch of them for years, AF. They are quite good but need to be given a light dose of Dullcoat.

I think they are one of the better Easy Models. Only bought one so far. Have quite a few Dragon Warbirds F4F's, which are the bees knees. Surprisingly they never made an O'Hare Wildcat, so EM it is.


It would've been nice to inspect it before I bought one as sometimes they have QC issues like glue marks etc. but places like Hobby Lobby don't carry them any more, so you take your chances on the internets.

What is cool is the Atlantic Wildcat and I think at least one other (Shamrock Bay?) has the correct taller tail rudder which the dark blue incorrect Dragons do not.
