Because Mr. Bill HB, unlike their F4F Wildcat, screwed the pouch on the F6F where the cockpit scales out a bit to large for 1/48.

Scaled for modern asses.

Yes............................ and it begins.
I want to use the better seat from the HB kit, Ed's sucks!
Left is the armour back plate, Ed (L) and HB )R).

So I have made one to fit the Ed fuselage.

Will use the ED top headrest armour plate
and the HB seat, its a bit more detailed
and not a Whole lot bigger then aftermarket seat.
I will do some mod from the HB floor.

The beat goes on.

Good stuff Bill.

 

[Crimea_River]

You should do a zombie build of another Hellcat using the parts that you DIDN'T use for this one.

 

[Donivanp]

Great stuff Mr. Bill, great stuff indeed!

Great scratch as always Bill. As soon as I saw, "The beat goes on", this immediately pops into my head and will be an earworm for the next few days, thank you very much

Thanks for looking in, annnnd all the comments!!!!
So today I filled the cavity in the fuselage at the flaps.
I used 2mm thick styrene, made wedges and glued them in.

I then filed and sanded them down

and now the cavity is filled ans smooth.

I had to replace the seat, just too big!!

Added some more goodies, both side panels,
stick, throttle box, odds and ends.

Have pre-fit the IP, peddles and other stuff.
On and on.
