Eduard 1/48 Hellcat Mk I.

March 13, 2025 · in Aviation · 17 · 259

First model of a Dual Combo edition. Colors from Humbrol, Model Master and Testors, resin seat and wheels from Ultracast, resin gun cannons from Quickboost, PE from the kit, extra detailing and corrections on the surface, cockpit and engine. Painted insignias and codes, stencils from the kit. Oils, watercolor pencils and pigments from Abteilung and AK Interactive. I always liked this FAA scheme and finally I built my own. And as you can see, I was working on the two kits.

  2. G’day Ruben (@rubentorres),
    Nicely done.
    I built this kit years ago and used the kit wheels. They do look on the skinny side, so your decision to use aftermarked wheels was a good one.
    Liked!
