1/32 Hasegawa F6F-5 Hellcat

Post by ulvdemon »

Here is my first 1/32 scale model in a very long time. Fun build even when I an into an issue with gouging the fuselage with my rotary tool. Also lost the pitot tube which required an aftermarket buy to fix. All paints used were Vallejo products except for the clear colors for the lights which were Tamiya's. Enjoy.

Nice job - I'm a big fan of posing aircraft "in flight" so really like how you've displayed this :th:

Good work here. I've gotten close to buying the 1/24 Airfix version several times as well as a 1/32 radar version. Looking at your may just push me enough to get one. I'm also one who likes to display most of my aircraft in flight so that makes yours even sweeter in my eyes.
