Wow cracking build, the long hard work was worth it. The weathering is so good it looks as though you could lick the salt off the airframe from sea spray. Great beer too you deserve that

Holy flip, that’s fabulous. It looks real enough to jump in and fly. The detail is amazing and you’ve really made the most of it. Great modelling.

 

I now have a new object to covet. [Goes straight to drool at Hph website...]

I ABSOLUTELY Love it.  You have nailed the dusty Pacific look, and I've always loved this ugly brute of an aircraft.  I didn't even know it was available in 1/32 and thanks to you I now have to have it!  Would you recommend the kit?

I had not seen your excellent Helldiver before but it is a stunning model - I can only echo what all of the others have said - does it come with a folded wing option which would be useful in this scale?

I missed this the first time around too - Excellent Helldiver!. The build, finish and weathering are excellent. It looks every bit the big heavy lump that the real one was.

 

Cheers
