Andy Dyck Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Hi friends, this is my reproduction of eduards F-6 Hellcat in 1/48. I performed complete riveting. I built it 2 or 3 years ago. I used MRP colours and also used Splatter masks. A little bit overdone, as you can see at the cowling. Otherwise an old kit , but perfect fit and even worth to build. Had a lot of fun and like the little „Lolly“. 66 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbolt Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Amazing work! It does make me feel old when some one calls the Eduard Hellcat an old kit 😂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREG DESTEC Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Totally agree with everyone else, Superb Hellcat 👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 That's extraordinary work, if I had to pick out just one detail that makes this special, those exhaust stains are superb. Brilliant, as usual 👍 Trying to work out why anyone would react to that build with a 'sad face' emoji 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First put a very high diluted Tamiya Buff on it. Then worked further with oils for the streaks and very small brushes and blend them a little bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toryu Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Another beautiful model and presentation Andy! Mit Hintergrund sieht es doch gleich noch realistischer aus. Klasse! Gruß, Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Brantley Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Well, what can I say? That is fantastic Andy! Superb realism is evident throughout the entire presentation; weathered to perfection (and yes, those exhaust stains are superb ) and beautifully photographed too! Please stop by the front office to pick up your trophy! 🏆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 What the others have said; if done in b&w, these pics could easily pass for period photos! Very realistic weathering! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
