Now you need a BPF Hellcat II to put beside it in the cabinet.. I really need another Hellcat , I have too few!! (1/24 F6F-5 is too big for my Ikea Detolf cabinet😅 ) the next 1/48th scale Hellcat will be a F6F-3 in 3 tone scheme and a F6F-5 in overall GSB (US NAVY or FAA) to complete the collection 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always have some problems with the black and white stripes because I support the opposing football team of the famous one with those colors , however, I really like them on this plane Thank You 3 hours ago, tonyot said: Lovely job and Happy Easter to yourself too mate,.... stay safe. Cheers Tony I have been home for 4 weeks, in fact this is already the second model that I finish since the lockdown started. I have already started the third and maybe I can finish it as it will still last 3 weeks Thank You all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueNosers352nd Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Looks good! See you got some of your stencils on. Building the -3 ProfiPack for my entry and the white stencils were awful, so ended up only doing two stencils before I decided to can them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building the -3 ProfiPack for my entry and the white stencils were awful, so ended up only doing two stencils before I decided to can them. I put all the stencils except the white ones that were placed on the white stripes. I only had difficulties with those who had to be positioned on the black stripes and to a lesser extent on the sky, due to silvering in some areas I put the Future wax with the brush because the airbrushed gloss coat was not enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
