**** DONE: 1/48 Grumman F-6-F 3 Hellcat - Carrier Aircraft GB

Personally I wouldn't have started the weathering before the decaling.
Just sayin, with tongue in cheek......
that sucks....

Hey, you never know until you try!
I couldn't relax until I fixed or f**ked it.
So, I fixed it.

Oops, now I posted two of the same side...
The other side is done too....

Thought for a minute a seagull had shat all over it. Nice recovery though, old bean.

Good recovery man...

I was worried that the paint wouldn't be even, but it is beautiful and leveled out. I love this Vallejo paint!

Last shot before the finished picts go up,
There were three tiny lights, red, yellow, and green all nicely painted and ready for installation. Two went flying and the carpet monster got them.
So a drop of yellow and one of green, let dry and a little white glue to fill the holes, ...'viola...lights.
Hard to see the yellow, but it is there.
Also barely visible, the antenna wire. Courtesy of my hair brush.
Flip this puppy on her feet and call it done!
