Hi folks, This is a build that I finished some months ago and I forgot to post here. A tiny Hellcat Mk.I, 1/72. A Wonderfull model from Eduard. It haves a great fit, nice an very delicate details, is the Dual Combo edition. With PE and masks. I have to build yet the Mk.II. In this case I have added more rivets with a riveter wheel. I think It turns out quite good... Hope you like it 🍻 Greetings Ricardo

So chaps! After being encouraged by cookie to do a wip on my typhoon (he is a very encouraging chap which is appreciated as i don't always encourage myself.... actually I started my spitfire wip as MG encouraged me.... maybe I need to grow a pair) I was not going to start it until I had finished my Malta spitfire.... but then I ripped a transfer off and got a bit annoyed by it all and decided I would start the early.....so. This I what I will be building Nice kit with great detail... below is the option I am going for I build the old tool tiff from airfix when I was younger and always remembered enjoying it. As far as an aircraft I gave always had a soft spot for this brute... but it's always been overshadowed in my love of the sea fury and tempest as a beefcake ground attack, still it's another one of hawkers great stable gun platforms like my beloved hurricane (she's at the top of the tree IMHO) So here's what I did, not much just a bit of interior painting really.... but hey! It's a start. So I didn't follow airfix's paint guide as a lot of people have questioned it (?) So I have taken from other builds I have watched, hopefully this will make it correct. I will see if I can get the aluminium details done and close the ac up by the end of the week, but please don't hold your breath... its against my health and safety policy. Any help and advice is always welcome so feel free, even though this is not my favourite ac I still love it and want to do it proud and there are a lot of people out there that know a great deal more than me. Cheers all Rob P.s. rockets on and a gun bay open is the plan! I am saving the big boobs. ... sorry don't know where that came from .... I meant bombs for another project
