Stanley Ipkiss Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hello there! I would like to present my recent work which is Eduard's Hellcat build straight from weekend edition box US Navy is not my main topic but from time to time i really enjoy building something in those colours. Hellcat was a usefull build for experiments and to train some techniques which were new for me. Hope you will like it! Cheers Stanley 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darby Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Those eyes look like mine after masking a Stuka canopy recently. Plenty of filth as well. Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smudge Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hi, I just posted my Airfix Hellcat, so it's very interesting to compare that old kit to the new Eduard offering. Nice work. Looks good alongside the Helldiver, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Ipkiss Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Thanks alot guys! I'm glad you like it That is one great looking wee Hellcat, love the weathering/chipping...just right. Can I ask how this was acheived? Thanks for sharing! Chipping was made in very simple way. Firstly I've covered whole model with Alclad Duraluminium, then painted the camouflage and gently scratched the chips with sharp scalpel. It's a good and easy method which can give nice effects.Cheers! Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeSau75 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hey cool - like it a lot. Very nice weathering and painting. Hope mine (Eduard 1/48 Week End Edition) will turn out as nice as yours. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
