celt Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) I am not a fan of Heller kits,but this was bought by SHMBO for my birthday,so I decided to give it a bash.All paints were acrylic and were slapped on by hairy stick.The model loved the filler but I had fun doing it,this is a hobby after all. I need to to do a shake and bake kit now as I have run out of filler. Edited April 24, 2017 by celt Spelling mistake 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis Alfonso Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hi Celt!!! Wonderful build and nice ended kit. I have one to be re-glued after an accident prior to be painted, and will try to improve her and add something not so complicated. Without a doubt SHMBO knew you need this build and Thought good!!! Thank you very much for sharing and inspiring a build My Friend!!!. Cheers, Luis Alfonso 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazey Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Very nice Hellcat in less-common markings. There's been quite a run of Hellcats in RFI lately! Regards, David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Hi Celt, great looking Hellcat! And French to boot! Don't you dare chuck it!!! One thing I will say though: It looks like Heller have stuffed up the wing tips, as they do look rather iffy. First time I have laid eyes on a Heller Hellcat, and beside this small detail, it looks the part. Top painting and well done! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmouredSprue Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Very nice! I have the same model in my stash and didn't want to build it. But after yours everything is possible. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Always liked Hellcats and yours is very, very nice. Being a Heller kit, "idiosyncratic" comes to mind, but you seem to have dealt with any buildability issues perfectly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
