Drunax Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) Hello everybody, It has been ages since I posted something...Im not new here but do not post my WIPs normally. Anyway, I m working on this dinosaur from Hasegawa, well known for you, and very good in some areas but desperately lacking in others. I wanted to do It without rescribing, because Hase did a beautiful job on the small and delicate riveting, but OTOH they did raised panel lines, or trenches on the wings. But I tested a new primer on the Hellcat fuselaje trusting It would be a good base, resulting in all the rivets being buried under a thick layer of primer... The project went to the box for many years, only being resurrected a couple of times. Now I restarted It and I m trying to post some pics from imgur, but I don' t think it's working... Sorry, this was intended to be published in WIP forum ...

Easiest way to post pictures from Imgur is to open the picture (comes up in kinda pop-up thingemything) then choose the 2nd option on the right. Paste this in your post and voila.

Drunax Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 Still trying.. https://www.flickr.com/gp/150761798@N06/8a4ZXEhUs9.jpg https://www.flickr.com/gp/150761798@N06/e5h63o16w8.jpg https://www.flickr.com/gp/150761798@N06/ta3s6juf6t.jpg There is a mix of scratchbuilding and a resin cockpit. I had to modify it because the resin Verlinden one , designed for this kit, sits too high inside the fuselage, as the original kit pieces do. I added plastic to the rear wall to make the cockpit ground sit deeper. Sorry, still finding out how to paste pics...

Drunax Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 This is what I had done years ago in the wheel bay area...not much, but a start. It's a bit difficult to find the correct pieces for such a complicated wheel well ... https://www.flickr.com/gp/150761798@N06/1Sc4Jy3t2Q.jpg coogrfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Memphis, It is useful!....indeed It was a monographic on the Airfix Hellcat by the French magazine Wings Masters what sparked my renewed interest in my old Hase kit, and it contains lots of pics of the pieces. But never thought of the instructions, so clear. Everything is helpful and I m inspired again... coogrfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I'd used some pages from magazine "Monografie Lotnicze" no. 15 F6F Hellcat. If you don't have this I can send you images on email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
