Hasegawa 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat
This is a nice kit and goes together well. I only had two issues. The canopy sits too high so I had to file off the bottom to make it sit lower. The bushing inside the engine did not seat properly so the propeller shaft would not [...]
Eduard 1/48 F6F-3
Eduard's Hellcat is a very nice kit with no build complications. Just a gem.
F6F Hellcat 1/32 Scale Model: One Wing Folded

Greetings all - and all the best for coming year.
Here's my first completion of 2024 which nearly made 2023 but the cold, wet weather was against me for the final varnish coat! The Airfix 1/24th Hellcat is well known and documented so I'll [...]
Academy 1/48 SBD 3 Dauntless
This model is one of the Enterprise Dauntless at the Battle of Midway. Only my second Navy plane but since I purchased the Vallejo Air paint set for WWII naval I will be doing more. I have a Hellcat ready to go soon.
This was my first [...]

The Somewhat Unappreciated Hasegawa F6F Hellcat
I've been away from iModeler for quite a while, but I haven't been sitting idle.
