Jack Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 You did a good job on this Cat, looking very good.........but for the spine, but that is ofcourse not your undoing, i'm still bothered a bit by Trump's representation of the Hellcat, were the spine is too much rounded and wide as compared to the Hasegawa kit, and compared to real time pictures of this aircraft. But again that being said, this Hellcat is perfect the way you built it, congrats, salut, Jack red baron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is best ? hasegawa seems much fairer in terms of shape, but everything needs to be done to modernize it, the trump is more modern, but the back is really missing Erwin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin, take it from me, YOUR 1/24 Hellcat is IMHO the best representation of this aircraft, and going back to 1/32nd the Hasegawa, despite being old, has the best outline shapes of a Hellcat, and ok, it lacks the modern detailing capabilities, but some TLC can bring this old venerable Hasegawa kit to a splendid end result....... red baron, Erwin and Rockie Yarwood 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Rademaker Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Excellent job on both kits. Is there a reason why the rivet detail is more pronounced on the US Navy version? Archer resin rivets? Jim red baron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
