F6F-3 Hellcat


Recommended Posts

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! :)

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!!

Thank you Gentlemen.

David, you are right, but it's bit to late to fix it.... :angrysoapbox.sml::deadhorse:

The model is after oil color wash:

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!!
