Zarichta Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Hello guys; I finished another Hellcat 1/72. This is an Italeri 1/72 that I worked together an Eduard kit. This kit has a complicated built, but the final result is a reasonable Hellcat. I chose this famous FAA version. Thank's for watching! And here, this Mk.I together with the last Eduard Hellcat.

Gorby Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Excellent job! I originally thought it was 1/48. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeSau75 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Top notch build - love them both but I prefer the FAA version. Cheers, Michael 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Wonderful build Cristian, the chipping looks fantastic. Does the Italeri kit come with the flaps down option out of the box? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Italeri kit come with the flaps down option out of the box? Thank you mate! About the flaps, yes, but in the Italeri instructions, the position is wrong. You need to create pins and put it away from the rear spar wing. I followed an original photo to estimate this gap. It was difficult to find this position.
