Steffen posed his Wildcats on a Mark58 tropical diorama base during his recent visit to the company, and the photos were taken by none other than Marc Toillie himself. Steffen modified his FM-2 extensively using Vector's resin correction sets.

About Steffen Arndt (alpha_tango)
FROM: , GERMANY

I was born in 1974 and started modelling in the 80ies. The first models I remember are a MiG 21 F-13, Saab Draken (both 1/100) and the Tu-2 (72) all from the east German producer Plastikart. during my first years I built all kind of models mainly 1/72 and 1/100. Beside the mentioned Plasticart kits ...

Thanks a lot Rowan! Of course both aircraft were carrier based and the situation is not fully suited, but it sets the models (Nick these are actually 2 ) in perspective. I have a Build log for the FM-2 and for the F4F-3 there is at least this thread ... just if you want to read a bit about the construction .... thanks for the kind comment Nick! all the best Steffen

Hi Steffen, nice Wildcats you have made, I also like these Hobbyboss kits (have all version in my pile, as I also want to build some Martlets). In the meantime this dio is well known here. I visited Mark last weekend, because I had some Vietnam Warriors for him. With this perfect weather on Saturday, we took some pictures of my latest Warhawks on his dios ..... Happy modelling Torsten

Nice work, Steffen- gotta love those Cats! I've been quietly following your builds and have enjoyed them immensely. I have a Hobbyboss F4F-4 and the Eduard brass sets- gotta finish a couple of builds so I can dig into a "simple" build! ;D Cheers on a great diorama- chuk

Thank you Chuk and Yoni! hey Chuck .. I am enjoying your threads too, though i think you go over board with some aspects of your builds, so it would be nice to watch a "simple" build of you as a diversion cheers Steffen
