Officially done F6F flown by Lt. Leo B McCuddin of the VF-20 USS Enterprise October 1940. Painted with Tamiya paints and weather with MIG wash . Kit is 1/48 Haseagawa with ICM Pilot 🙂
Brian, beautiful job, with just enough weathering. Carrier based were better cared for. Used, not abused. Nice to see a Hasegawa Hellcat, makes a great base.
Nice work on the pilot!
