Eduard (weekend) 1/48 F6F 3 Hellcat

Post by Kgbow »

It's been a while since I've made a post. I've been busy with the band.

However, I have been building occasionally and managed to finish a few. I'll upload as I get more time. here's the first and the latest. The Eduard F6F 3.

Great kit, goes together really really well and feels "meaty" (if you know what I mean, without sounding like a weirdo) once you've built it. Highly recommended. Went for the basic paint scheme in the box and only weathered a little. Learnt a lot from this build and paint! Let me know what you think! :)

That looks fantastic! I've got the Profipack version hidden away. I'm gonna build it when I'm a bit less kak handed.

Love the weathering and, having built the same kit earlier this year, totally understand the sense of weight.

Great result.

:cheers2:
