ClumsyDude Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Looking sweet Shaka! You going with masks or decals for this one? Jim Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Shaka Glad that your sense of smell is returning and you're on the path to a full recovery - most important of all. Now on to the hellcat. She sure is looking good and I'm looking forward to seeing the cat in primer and then in USN colors. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 x2 As Peter said. Sense of smell is often under appreciated . I am glad you doing better Shaka. Cheers M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaka HI Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 Thanks Ya'll! Haven't decided on masks vs decals or even the markings for that matter since I switched from a -3 to a -5. -5 don't get weathered like the -3's, so I need to rethink weathering plans as well... I'm open to ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Can't help you on the markings Shaka, but it's great to see your making some great progress on both the build and your health. Were any of the Operation Crossroads Hellcats -5? Would be kind of neat to see it in orange. Carl Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaka HI Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 Carl, I've thought about the orange Hellcats (drones, I believe), but decided against it...just not very representative of this AC -- though it does stick out. Martin..thanks for picts -- dude, your Google-fu is unmatched. Was the Hellcat used as a test bed for radar guided AA missles? I had no idea! Primed. Some panel lines will need correction (but I expected that)! Upon close inspection of the my ham-fisted panelling/re-riveting detail -- I'm very happy with the results!
