Grizly Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 The model is of Lieutenant Bill Atkinson's aircraft that he flew the night he shot down three Aichi B7A “Grace” torpedo planes making him the second Canadian “Naval Ace” of the Pacific war. As indicated it's the Airfix kit with Eduard and Airscale aftermarket detail parts added to the cockpit.

justplanecrazy Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Nice job!!! what paint did you use for the blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizly Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 I used Model Master enamel Dark Sea Blue with a touch of grey added to give it a slightly faded look and a bit more contrast with the Model Master enamel Insignia Blue in the roundel.

Panzerwomble Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Yay!!! , thats a great looking Hellcat, and so nice to see a Royal Canadian Navy one . Paint job is just fantastic and subtle , as I'm pretty sure the "Senior Service" wouldn't allow it's aircraft to look as beaten up as the USN did.
