Looking good so far Charles!
 
Cheers, Lads... Got the underside of the Hellcat painted, this morning, using the Model Master's Flat White. Don't see any bad spots in the paint job, but I do see a spot on the upper fuselage that needs to be repaired. Will let this cure for a couple of days, then will do the mid-section with the Intermediate Blue. Also, been working on the prop..... pic's later.

It is taking two days to dry in your part of the country too, eh?
Lots of white there!
 
Lovely work so far Charles!
 
Wow!! Mr. C is on a roll!

Are you ready for this ? I just bought a Guillow's Douglas AD-5 Skyraider ! Another entry for the Carrier GB ??
That was a carrier borne aircraft, I rode in an AD-5W many times off the USS Essex.

Finished the prop, today, and just had to see what it would look like attached to the rubber band. Tomorrow I need to repair some finger damage to the fuselage.... no big deal.

Looks nice with that prop on Charles.

What's this AD-5 thing, a stable mate for the Hellcat!!
