Ilan Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Hello, here is my new build, the Eduard 1/48 Hellcat. The Cockpit is ready: More to come.
Enzo the Magnificent Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Nice! And I can see that you have repainted the pre-painted PE to the correct colour, as the printed colour of Interior Green bears no relation to reality!

Ilan Posted May 19, 2012 Author Posted May 19, 2012 Thank you very much for the kind words Gentlemen. A bit more progress: More to come.
MakingModelsAgain Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 Watching with much interest as I have two of these in the stash. This one is shaping up superbly and looking forward to seeing how the salt chipping effect turns out!
ScanmanDan Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Salt and a multi hue pre shade! I'm loving this. Thanks for sharing. Dan
Parabat Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Very interesting, this is sure to be an interesting build!
Ilan Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 Thank you Sir. More progress, I've painted the under side: More to come.
Spikelhund Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Looking very nice, keep up the good work. Cheers...
Christer A Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Wow! Just wow! That turned our excellent, for sure!
Ilan Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 Thanks a lot Gentlemen. Decals are on: More to come.
Modelarczyk Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Very nice paiting and wethering job. Looks great.
David H Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 That looks rather nice Ilan. Not sure what it is but there appears to be something that looks like a finger print on the left side of the forward fuselage near the hoist point. It looks like those Eduard decals aren't quite opaque enough to cover the dark blue paint underneath, but aside from that i like the overall look of the model so far. The weathering appears to be in all the right places and it isn't overdone. Thanks for posting!! david

David, you are right, but it's bit to late to fix it.... The model is after oil color wash: More to come.
woody37 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Love your weathering technique, she's looking fabulous
Spikelhund Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Really nice paintwork and weathering, I can't keep up with the pace you build! Cheers...
[email protected] Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 You made that Eduards cat wery nicely. Thumbs up!
Ilan Posted May 24, 2012 Author Posted May 24, 2012 Thank you very much, Gentlemen. I've added oil stain to the model, and kind of temporary covers to the guns. More to come.
David H Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Looks much better now Ilan. Not sure if you want to expend the effort, but those tiny circles on the wing center stub section were the wing locking pin indicators. They were red on top. You could do them by drilling the holes out and inserting a piece of plastic rod painted red. Adds a little bit of colour. The cleanup job looks good though. Keep on keeping on!! david
