This lockdown situation gave me a little more time to do some modelling. I have given up on 1/32 and 1/24 i think. I keep buying them , then loads of aftermarket , starting them , getting bored with them and selling them on. Time for a change. I want to build good quality models , that actually fit on a shelf. I will not be using aftermarket if i can help it.  I have been getting more into the Pacific Theatre and so have decided to go with planes from that. I will be sticking to Accurate miniatures or italeri , Tamiya and Hasegawa. I really dont have the patience for poor fitting kits anymore.

This kit has really bought the fun back into modelling. Beautifully detailed and easy to build. I have a great time just building from the box. The problem is i think i need the rest of the F4U line now!

Apologies for pics i took them on my Iphone

Morning Gunpowder,

 

Great build, I really love the tri color scheme.

 

In the near future I'm going to start the Airfix 1/24 F6 Hellcat I bought from you.

After a lot of research I dit find some pics of the F6F-5 in a tri color scheme.

In my opinion there are way more options and possibilities in weathering.
