Dmitry Stelmakh Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Hello! This is my new kit. In this time it was a testing some new technologies for me. Plastic set of excellent quality. But anyway I used aftermarket sets. Resin engine, fuel tank, gunsight and exhaust from Quikboost. Machine gun barrel from Master. Resin wheels from Reskit. New to me was the use of decal rivets HGW. Paints HATAKA. Weathering oil dots and washes, salt dots and pigments. Decal is Berna decal. 62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc72 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Excellent weathering, really a fine looking model. What can you say about the Berna decals? I used them once (on a P-39) and I found them to be terrible thick. Yours look ok, however. Maybe Berna changed the printer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decal is thick and bad stick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ c Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Great looking Hellcat Dmitry, I`m currently near the end of a 48th scale one also in French markings, hope it turns out as nice as yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttoVonSkidmark Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Wow, that is fantastic👍. I noticed you used Hataka paints. I’ve bought the 1939 Poland set and have yet to use them. How do you rate them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Pete Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Nice. Very nice. 👍 There's something about the Hellcat's "chubbiness" that makes it look almost cute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
