Dads203 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Very nice weathering, very authentic You might want to get that rudder looked at before the next sortie? Lovely build. Regards Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robw_uk Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 having just finished a USN HEllcat this caught my eye - love the finish you have on this kit - and your photography rally does it justice (must get mine photographed and posted in RFI).

gcn Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 nice job. I too have this in the stash. What paints did you use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notty Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Absolutely beautiful in every respect. Work of art! That's the kind of weathering I try (and fail) to go for, but when I see it pulled off like that it makes more determined. Spot on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Rogers Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Wow! That's a really nice build Arkady, and great painting and weathering too. The photography does it justice, looks like a much bigger kit, like 1/32 or something. The Vector resin engine jumps out at you as well, doesn't it, nice bit of detail.

Arkady72 Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 Once again thanks for comments! Because in the final model, the excellent Vector resin engine is not very visible, I would like to show some pictures of the engine prior to installation.

David H Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Nice job Arkady, Particularly with the additional rivet work! Did something go wrong with the antenna post on the vertical fin, or does the FAA use a different W/T arrangement than the US birds? One other thing i am noticing a LOT with these Eduard builds: Seems most people are building the model without the Drop tank. It it causing problems?? Well Done! david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady72 Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 Did something go wrong with the antenna post on the vertical fin, or does the FAA use a different W/T arrangement than the US birds?david This antenna should not be at all - my mistake. FAA aircrafts did not have it. One other thing i am noticing a LOT with these Eduard builds: Seems most people are building the model without the Drop tank. It it causing problems?? Hard to say, I just quit out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
