HartDeco Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hi all. I just finished the Eduard 1/48 Hellcat for a friend of mine. The kit builds really easy. No fit problems whatsoever. Included in this kit are some very nice resin wheels and a colored pe set for the cockpit. Also pe spark plug wires for the engine are included. The decal sheet for several versions looks very nice but I don't like the fact that they don't react to decal setting at all. The model was painted with Gunze Aqueous over a base of Alclad black primer. Aqua gloss from Alclad was used as a clear coat before the wash and decals were put in place. Final coat used is Alclad matte. Thank you for watching. René 48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbolt Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Fantastic looking Hellcat. What setting solution did you try on the decals? Mr. Mark Softer should soften up pretty much any decals and will ruin some of the more delicate ones. DACO also do a strong version of their own setting solution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HartDeco Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Daco strong and Gunze both did nothing. I ended up Using Tamiya extra thin cement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Structor Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 There are so many great planes from this era to model but the Hellcat is one of my favorites. You have done an exceptional job with this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
