F6F-3 Hellcat. Eduard 1/72

[Diego Quijano]

Built almost OOB, I only aded the rivets, MG barrels, antenna wire and landing gear wires. The hangar deck catapult base is made from scratch with styrene pieces.

For the heavy weathering I used oil and enamel products.

This would be brilliant in 1:48, I'm lost for words 1:72, stunning.

Gulp! That weathering is in one word - awesome!

No words.......or maybe "I'm not worthy"!!!!

My hairs stood on end when I scrolled down to that first pic!

That shouts awards all over!

Every time I see one of your models, I say to myself that's it, it can't be done any better. And every time you shows us another new model you raise the bar again! You are amazing, my friend!

I know it's not particularly detailed by your standards Diego, but it is still one of the best models I've ever seen, beautifully balanced and so full of life and character. Inspirational and a level of modelling to aspire to. I'm humbled.
