Nice build and interesting, similar to the Polish/Lithuanian Morane/Spitfire story 👍

Album info
The first 30 F4F-3As were released for sale to Greece, after the Italian invasion in October 28th 1940. However, at the surrender of Greece to the axis powers in April 1941 the aircraft had only reached Gibraltar. They were taken over by the FAA as Martlet Mk III(B). As these aircraft did not have folding wings, they were only used from land bases.
Model depicts one of the Greek wildcats prior their delivery, test flown with US civil registration.
Built OOB, with painted-on roundels as these provided with the kit didn't look right to me.
