My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.
Re: jssel's F6F Hellcat.***Under Way***
0900 EST and good progress along the way.
Engine painted and mounted.
Pin holes smoothed down.
And the time hack with the state of play. Seam lines cleaned up but panel lines need to be replaced.
Horizontal stabs will remain off until the tri-color scheme is put on. Easier masking. But you knew that.

Re: jssel's F6F Hellcat.***Under Way***
Good looking build, and a very tidy workbench. I actually didn't think of leaving the horizontal stabilizers off for easier masking, but it seems so obvious now. Thanks for the tip and keep up the good work.

That is a ridiculously tidy bench!
Good progress on the build, and a nice selection of accompanying characters!

Thank you gents for looking in on me.
As I approach hour four it seemed that a little bomb detailing was in order. I drilled out places for the fuses.
Time hack and the Hellcat has legs.

With everything working so well I decided to pre-shade and paint the lower surfaces with Tamiya white. Intermediate Blue up next.
Time hack and state of play.
Time got a way from me this time. Well......when you're having fun..........
It was a long time before I released that this was a UK band.

Re: jssel's F6F Hellcat.***Under Way***
Sixth hour and the Intermediate Blue is on.
I will mention that the colors are PolyScale and as you know they are out of business which to me is quite sad.
Are we feeling old yet?

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

Camo scheme roughed in to the point where I can think about gloss cots and a long cold one.
Time hack and state of play.
Ready for some big guns?
