matto21 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hello, Finally finished my Eduard Hellcat. Built totally out of the box with the exception of new gun barrels [drilled plastic rod] and brake lines. Painted and weathered using Tamiya acrylics mixed by eye. I have achieved a first with this model - an aerial wire! Hope you like the pics and any comments are welcome! Thanks for looking Matt 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Lovely job there, Matt. She's one to be proud of. I particularly like your restrained weathering/subtle chipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrritableRabbit Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Yummy yummy yummy! (yes it is time to eat as well. ) That really does look very nice indeed, especially (and has already been mentioned by Paul) with that very nice subtle weathering you've done. Smashing!
