Troffa Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) I like that a lot! What a superb finish you have achieved, very convincing to my eye. (My myopic eye, as I've just realised that this model is in 1/72 scale- gor blimey, it's a cracker! ) Edited August 6, 2017 by Troffa Myiopia :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Lovely job. What did you use on the hub to get it looking so metallic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Modeller Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) Another fabulous build from you Fuad, I always enjoy looking at your work! It never ceases to amaze me how fantastic your painting and weathering looks and especially fantastic that it is in 1:72 scale - I wish I knew how you did it!

Kev Thank you a lot for such kind comments. I don't use anything unusual in the process of creating a model. Chipped with watercolor pencils. Everything else is just an experience. I have already created more than 200 models. And I still have a lot to learn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Schilhart Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Sweet little marine bird, perfectly executed. Great weathering. You're a master of art! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Simply stunning build! A favourite aircraft of mine, in my favourite scale. Unlikely I could do as good a job, but it still inspires me for getting my hands on one of those Eduard kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Absolutely stunning Hellcat! Beautiful modelling and weathering as always. Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich G Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Another amazing build Fuad, I particularly like the level of wear and grime, the oil streaking looks really good and the exhaust staining is nice, did you use tamiya deck tan or buff and smoke for that?

Yes, you guessed correctly. I used Tamia's colors for exhaust - XF15 flesh over XF1+flat varnish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Fuad, Absolutely the best heavily weathered F6F model I have seen in any scale! I generally don't care for extremely weathered finishes, as they are usually grossly overdone, but your effort is very convincing and in the areas that would be weathered/scuffed. Unlike a lot of weathered models, you have also remembered to fade the national insignia appropriately- nothing looks worse than an extremely faded model with factory fresh insignia! Well done, sir! I echo what all of the other posters have said- now you need to do a similar job on a USMC birdcage F4U-1! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winenut Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Great build Fuad Your builds and finishes are always a very high standard I'm interested and like the reverse wash on the upper surfaces (light greyish) and the dark wash (blackish) on the under surfaces. I assume that's typical of carrier based aircraft in the Pacific theatre as a result of the conditions? Something I might try next time!
