1/72 Eduard Hellcat Mk I

[Jay Gee]

Hi everyone, 

 

Here is the last kit I finished for 2021 which has been collecting a little dust before I could get some photos.

 

It is the 1/72 Hellcat Mk I/II Dual Combo Profi Pack from Eduard painted in one of the kit schemes being 1844 SQN from HMS Indomitable. The kit which went together in typical Eduard fashion (meaning any mistakes are all mine) and was painted in my trusty Humbrol enamels. After a little research here in regards to ANA colours, I went with Humbrol 155 Olive Drab, 125 US Dark Grey and 90 Sky which looks alright to me. I went a little too heavy with the weathering in some spots, but apart from that I'm pretty happy with it. 

 

Sending everyone best wishes for a successful 2022 at their work bench!

 

JayGee.

I like that. Your colours calls look about right & you've done a top job on it. Take a big ✔️.

Very nice indeed! I love the Hellcat in FAA colours!

Thanks Steve, I did another one a few years ago and used the standard FAA colours not realising how different the colours are to the ANA standard. This one turned out much better than the first effort.
