1/48 Jasmin Models F8F5 Hellcat Skeleton

Post by DRUMS01 »

Reference the above subject, has anyone in the forum built this mostly PE model?

If so, can you please provide your thoughts of the kit, fit, assembly, finished result, etc?

This is what I'm talking about:

Now THAT looks like a fascinating but hellishly complex build!! The capacity for even the slightest error to be magnified would scare the hell out of me!!!
I'd still have a go at it though!! :)

    I agree with the both of you. I'm trying to find someone who has built it or has first hand knowledge of it to tell me if it is worth well over $100.00

    Then I am curious to see if I could use it and a regular kit to show one side covered (skinned) and the other half as a skeleton only.

    It would not be a cheap build and I would not want to cripple the PE kit trying to align it with the plastic kit, if you know what I mean.

    Wow....It looks challenging as all get out.
    Scaring me off already, but I'll gladly watch over your shoulder if you have a go.
