Steve Eagle Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Did the -3 Hellcat have lapped fuselage panels or were they flush riveted? I am doing a -3 version Hellcat and want to try to simulate the lapping if they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Eagle Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 Thank you for the information. Exactly what I was looking for. Guess I will need more Archer rivets after sanding things down and trying to represent the laps. Hasegawa does a decent job, but I have ruined many of the lines while sanding. In the process of mounting the Trumpeter wings to the Hasegawa fuselage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
