1/48 Eduard profipack F6F-5 Hellcat Late

Post by MrGav »

Hey everyone apart from my hello this is my 1st post here, this is also my 1st model since I was a kid so mostly every tool and technique was new to me. It's been a learning curve to say the least!
A few mistakes along the way and its certenlly not perfect but all in all am very pleased with the end result.

Honest opinion? Great job. If that's your first for a while then you have the knack as they say. I like the light wash setting the cam colour off.

very nice, getting a subtile weathering effect is not easy but you've done it

That looks fantastic! The weathering is very nicely done. That's how I'd like my models to look.
