Hellcat

February 1, 2024 · in Armor · · 15 · 253

Tamiya 1:35 Hellcat (MM376) :
Used Value Gears' kit-specific stowage plus other 'stuff' scrounged from the spares box. lacquer paints mixed & lightened by eye.

One of my fave WWII vehicles and a huge step-up from the old Academy kit (which did sacrifice some bits & pieces to make this one). Please feel free to make any comments, ask any questions or criticisms.
Belated HNY all from the other side of the planet. Cheers from a very sunny and warm New Plymouth NZ.
