Gingercoastie Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Well here she is my version of the Airfix Hellcat. It had to be in the Fleet Air Arm scheme as my house is a solid RN only household. I used the Airscale cockpit set, Master gun barrels, Montex Mask set, HGW seatbelts, Anyz engine dress up set and a brass and resin undercarriage. Happy with all of that except for the cockpit set as it just isn’t that visible on the finished kit. I have a spare set of the undercarriage as I ordered 2 by mistake if anyone wants them. Thanks for looking. 45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Beema Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Terrific Hellcat, a great addition to your display case. There is a picture of maintenance crew on Indomitable sunbathing on a Hellcat, the belly hatch is open and hinged down, I’m not sure if is fouls the tank but it might be worth having a look and attaching yours the same way..

The braided cable is excellent, and a bit more forgiving than using the copper wire when it comes to fitting the pipe work with it in place.

BlackMax12 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Looks great, well not just great, pretty awesome. I have one in the Navy Blue scheme and I have been thinking of a second in the FAA scheme. Yours is an inspiration so I may just start the second. Lloyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
