Good evening

Today I started the Eduard Hellcat I will try to represent one of the aircraft used by the Groupe de Chasse 1/6 Corse of the French Air Force during the Indochina war

It is a Week end box so I will use a PE set and the Berna decals sheet

Good evening

This week end I made some progresses

I prepared the cockpit

Then I placed it on the right half fuselage and I closed the 2 fuselage halves

nice... here's some neat footage of 11F Hellcats (along with plenty of 3F Helldiver action) on Arromanches off Indochine during 1953 (Arromanches was previously a British carrier built too late to see service in WWII, sold to the French in 1951)
