Airfix 1:24 Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat Number 32


Recommended Posts

ust looking through my build pics and realised I'd missed out some of the finished engine before mounting. Since it's almost a model in itself I thought I'd include a few....

Important to say, I only ever use post production to try and recreate what I see with my eye, but on the photo. Never, ever any removal of faults, errors or anything else. It's warts and all. Thanks again for looking.

A masterwork of a Hellcat! This one is on my bucket list so I'll definitely be stealing some ideas taking inspiration from your build right here!

🤣🤣 feel free and thanks

I had to look twice at the cockpit pictures, I thought they were of a real one. A fantastic finish, really impressive work. Do you have a place big enough to display it?

The engine itself is a display worthy model.  Beautiful work.

 

How did you create the dented fuel tank?  That's a great detail.

Thank you so much. A dremmel on both low and high speed is the answer. Carved a few dents on lower speed then literally melted the flange gently to get the dints

Thank you so much. Anywhere to display? No I don't LOL. I never do working in large scale. They're either commission or go on ebay
