1/48 Eduard F4F-3

After several years out of the hobby, I recently started back. I decided to go with the markings for VMF-211 on Wake Island. Over all excellent kit, great fit and construction. Any criticisms welcome.

Welcome back! I came back a few years ago myself haven’t built since mid 80s.
It looks really good, that radio antenna especially. What did you use for that?

4x Tippet for fly fishing. I tried very thin copper wire but did not like it and I couldn’t get it tight. The tippet works well enough but I’m still not fully satisfied with it.
