BobM's 1/48 Eduard F6F-5 Hellcat ProfiPACK Reveal

Post by BobM »

I successfully completed the Eduard 1/48 F6F-5 Hellcat ProfiPACK kit; it was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun and a great experience. The kit went together real well. I was challenged by the included photo-etch detail of the clock; but nothing a little time and patience couldn't overcome. For details of the build, please visit the build thread.

I'm really happy with and proud of the results as you will be able to tell by the number of photos that are to follow. I hope you enjoy!
