That's a very nice model of a very odd looking aeroplane.

That's looking very nice.

I have re-painted the tyres in a darker grey. Looks better now I think:

I've taken some pics of the adjusted gear legs. I'm now much happier with how it looks. You can just about make out the brake lines in the second photo:

That's gorgeous. Well done.
-
I have updated the list of interested participants. We've now got 40 names!
I won't add planned builds until closer to the date seeing as it's still a way off.

Nice, thanks Mental. Sound like it could be interesting. I've cocked one of these up in the past so I know it's a mare to fit.
-
Now that I've got a few weeks off work I'm going to build this little beauty. Hopefully over the Christmas holiday:
1/48 Eduard Grumman Hellcat F6F-5
Montex Paint Mask
Ultracast Prop & Spinner
Ultracast Seats
Quickboost Guns
Quickboost Exhausts
Quickboost engine
Aires Gear bays
Ultracast Wheels

Looks good. How well did the kit fit together? Any problems?
-
Well here's a blast from the past. I was just doing some repair work on this model.
I repositioned the gear legs - they were at too much of an angle, in my opinion.
Added brake lines and repainted the pitot.
It was when I was repainting the pitot that I noticed the colour didn't match the rest of the model.
Turns out I've painted the bottom of the aircraft RLM 78, not RLM 76. Doh!
-
Are the Italieri and Eduard rebxings still available?
I've just done a bit of searching and can't find the Eduard one. The Italeri kit seems plentiful - I just ordered one for myself!
-
I think the Accurate Minatures kit is the only decent offering. It's been reboxed by both Italeri and Eduard.
-
Amazing. You built that from scratch? I wouldn't even know where to start.
-
Update: Thanks to a suggestion on Facebook the tyres are now a much darker shade of grey.

Looks great, how did you get on with the montex masks? i've just ordered some for a spit?
Cheers Rich
Thanks,
The Montex masks are great for the markings but the ones for the glass areas are a little thick and don't conform very well to curves. I prefer the Eduard ones for glazing.

Quick update: The last few nights I've been busy painting the markings on. Should have finished, but made a stupid mistake and forgot to put the centre masks of the 0's in so I need to fix that by re-applying the masks and painting the camouflage back into the centre's.
I also messed up painting the red tip of the spinner so I've stripped the paint ready to start again.
-
That's very nicely finished. What did you use for the aerial wire and blobs at each end?
-
Erwin that looks like an interesting subject.
RAF Colonel, I'm not 100% sure if you're allowed to enter the same kit in multiple group builds. I will check with Mish.

I generally use between 66% and 75% thinner and airbrush at 15 psi.
Have a read of this if you've got time. The author goes to some depth in explaining his use of Tamiya colours:

Edit: I should say he's using a few different thinners in that article. The x20a thinners are similar to IPA but have a drying retarder in them I believe.
