Crane Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Ahhh done. No complaints with a kit I purchased for under $10. It's about my skill level. I'm working on my 3rd Hellcat from Eduard, and it's going to take some time! All paints are MRP except for Tamiya clear coat. OOB 'wif' based on about 5 different Hellcat pictures I printed for guidance Edited December 15, 2019 by Crane added info. 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

top turret toddler Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Bunker Hill ? What did you do with the navigation lights? They look very realistic (together with the rest of the model;-) Edited December 14, 2019 by top turret toddler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navi lights are all paint with thick coating of clear on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Duvalier Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 That's a right tidy build, mate. The lights along the spine are splendid. The effort in drilling out the tailwheel strut is also commendable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad-4N Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Well built, but if I can humbly offer a critique. I think your gloss sea blue is a bit light. I think the darkest blue you used on the tri-color Hellcat seems a better match. That is just me. Great building, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantome Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Allow me to say your skill level is definitely worthy of the Eduard! Great job on both 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Superb! The Eduard is said to be the pinnacle for 1/72 Hellcats, but your results with this Academy kit certainly compare favourably! Very nice indeed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmouredSprue Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Stunning model mate. Very well done and attention to details. Like mentioned above, I also like the navi lights and the lights on the fuselage. Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
