Eduard 1:48 Hellcat Mk.II

Post by fathoffman »

I have taken a bold move and decided its time i stop lurking and take part in a group build.

I will be building Eduards 1:48 hellcat mk.II for no other reason than i like the scheme on this one.

This will be my first attempt with PE parts, so it will either look good or get thrown in the bin!

Update time.

So it would appear the photo etch cockpit turned out ok so it didn't end up in the bin.

Apologies for the poor quality pictures as I'm using my phone at the moment.
