Guest Vincent Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I think the rims you have used are a post war thing. The earliest i have seen them installed on a/c was 1955 IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alain11 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 hi very good job , the details are "sharp" I am stunned by the cockpit .. the engine is not bad too no .. it's an impressive build .....If I have something to say , I think it would be a shame to " hide " the fuselage , as well a part of the cockpit behind these huge wings , no doubt that your paint work will be top notch so ........... but this is my humble opinion Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are next to the model the folded wings aren’t actually as restrictive as the photos suggest, but I suppose the best bit is that it gives me an excuse to build another with the wings unfolded.

wingman777 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I really like what I"m seeing, great detail right out of the box and the size of this beast is impressive. I"ve built the 1/32 F6F by Hasegawa three times so I"m a big Hellcat fan anyway. Can't wait to see this one completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
