Super job you've made of that, well done.  I like they way you can display it cowling on but can also open the cowling when you want to.  

 

Again, well done..

Well, I held them on with Blu-tac for the pics. Otherwise, there’s no provision for keeping th panels on. That would have been nice, to have rare earth magnets holding them in like Tamiya does 🤷🏼‍♂️

Superb work on the Hellcat!  The weathering is outstanding.  Is it completely OOB?

 

Cheers,

 

Mark

Yup! And since the instructions give you a wiring guide for the engine wires, I still consider it totally OOB😎

Thanks all! I’m glad I got it done, almost didn’t. With earthquakes and things breaking up the workflow, I wasn’t sure I’d have it finished before I went on vacation. I’ll have a full write up soon. But for now, enjoy the pics!

We were all fine, thanks! Just a lot of shaking. We’re 100 miles from the epicenter, so lower amplitude, longer wavelength. But it did interrupt my building of the Hellcat! 😝

Blimey that was fast work!

 

I'm waiting for the decals to come out, but can't stop looking in the box. Superb kit and your build really does it justice.

 

Was it easy to build with the 'one wing folded, one extended' option?
