Hobbyboss 1/48 F6F-5 Hellcat

Post by T3hGuppy »

Okay guys here the finished daylight pics of my Hellcat.

Fantastic kit parts are beautifully detailed and fit perfectly the only issues I had where due to myself on not the kit itself.
The decals where also fantastic.

I would highly recommend this kit is your going to build this aircraft.

On with the pics.

I've seen master class several times Gupp... yours is pretty damn close.
She's a winner. You put her on a nice little base and she'd win a show or two I'll bet.
That reminds me, Fernando Duarte just did up a simple little base that's designed to look like the wooden deck of an aircraft carrier.
Check his channel out it's one of his latest videos.
