Rikywarbirds Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hi folks, This is a build that I finished some months ago and I forgot to post here. A tiny Hellcat Mk.I, 1/72. A Wonderfull model from Eduard. It haves a great fit, nice an very delicate details, is the Dual Combo edition. With PE and masks. I have to build yet the Mk.II. In this case I have added more rivets with a riveter wheel. I think It turns out quite good... Hope you like it 🍻 Greetings Ricardo 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Tiny, mate? It could easily have been mistaken for 1/48! A nice build and a great choice of scale Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Well, it clearly sits easily within your capabilities so don’t avoid 1/72! Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Very nice representation of a hard worked aircraft. I have the 1/48 Dual Combo in the stash & mean to do one in that scheme. I doubt if it will be as good as yours. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Joyce Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Very nicely done, Ricardo, especially the weathering! Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattheCat Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) "Turned out quite good" ???? Outstandingly good, you mean. Tell the truth. You have put your model some time on a real aircraft carrier to obtain such a realistic weathering, haven't you?.
