Hi all; Here's the latest off the bench, an Eduard 1/48 Hellcat. The WIP thread can be found here: This was an enjoyable project from both a modelling and an historical aspect. The kit was very easy to build and the journey into knowing the unit to which the reference aircraft belonged was much more interesting than I anticipated when I began. The WIP describes both journeys quite thoroughly but in short, construction was very easy and the fit good enough that I did the final assembly of wings and stabilisers to fuselage after completing all decals, paint and weathering. There were one two problems, the worst of which was Eduard's incorrect decal placement guide meaning that the stencils were a real pain in the rear - the instructions' decal ID's and the decal sheet's ID's were mismatched. Everything else though was self-imposed which is more or less par for the course for me. Here's the pics; Thanks for looking. Cheers; Mark.

Hello, here are some pictures of my newest "roll out". It s Eduards very nice F6F-3 Hellcat in 1:48 scale, it s the Profi Pack kit and build right out of the box. Started two months ago, with the intention to have a relaxing and fast build, the progress was straight forward, until i started to fight myself. The solve the home made problems took the most of the time. But it s done and i am quite satisfied with the result. The kit decals were used for the Hellcat from the U.S.N fighter ace, Alexander Vraicu, BuNo 40467, VF-6 from the USS Intrepid. The blue in the national insignias are quite light, so i had to alter the sea blue color to get the contrast right. Hope you like it Best Regards Bernd
