Seamus Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Morning all, Bringing my finished total for the year into double figures is the wonderful Eduard Hellcat. One of my favourite kits, this has been finished as a Mk II in the colours of 808 NAS from the dual profipack boxing. Hataka Orange Line paints were used throughout bar a touch of Alclad on the engine, with a light coat of W&N Galeria Matt varnish to finish for that satin sheen. 1/72 Eduard Grumman Hellcat II by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr 1/72 Eduard Grumman Hellcat II by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr 1/72 Eduard Grumman Hellcat II by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr 1/72 Eduard Grumman Hellcat II by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr 1/72 Eduard Grumman Hellcat II by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Thanks for looking, comments welcomed as ever Shaun 53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangor Lad Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 That's a very nice Hellcat. I must try that varnish. You've achieved a really good finish. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoftScience Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 This is the kind of sharp neatness I strive for. I feel.of Hemingway or Steinbeck had been modelers, this is how they would build. Soooo good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackem01 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I'm by no means an FAA expert, far from it, but I do know a beautifully finished model when I see one. Great job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick 2 hours ago, Dunny said: Beautiful finish - congratulations! What was your panel line wash? The panel lines received a wash of MIG Productions Neutral Wash. I didn't want to go too light with them, and too dark would have seen them lost against the dark sea blue, so I went straight down the middle. Neutral is my go to wash for most applications. Thanks again, Shaun 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
