pipthepilot Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hello Everyone, This is my latest completed model of the Hellcat Mk.I in Royal Navy colours in 48th scale by Eduard.

Buzby061 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Now that's a treat. I've got the Eduard FAA Dual Combo in the stash, hope they turn out as well as yours. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really glad you think so, I use Vallejo paints but I didn't use the recommended ones because I didn't think they looked right. In the end, I used Dark Slate Grey instead of Olive drab and US Dark grey instead of Ocean grey and then used Tamiya clear blue as a filter to correct the colours, making the Slate grey look more green and Dark Grey look more blue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
