**** DONE: GB-59 1/24 Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat - WW2 PTO V

Thanks guy's appreciate you inputs.

I whipped up a little two part epoxy to fill in the gaps. I checked windshield fit before to make sure there would not be an iss there, If anything it's a bit wide, so we're all good there.

Lovely work so far!

 

[Ralph Haus]

Glad you have that area tacked down. Concerned it may be a repeat performance from a previous build looking like a photo of the real thing!! Of course it's big enough to almost be.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Shame about those nasty gaps and obviously not little as you can see the size of the model against the your hand that's holding in, it's huge.

 

[Wayne Little]

Got a gap filling challenge there Don, hope it goes well.

 

[Donivanp]

Just a test fit. Had an obstruction in each wing I had to cut out for the connecting part to go in! Looks like one could change from fold to straight. Maybe I'll have to try.

 

[Crimea_River]

Neat.

 

[A4K]

Love it mate.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Love a folded wing, good for the display cabinet, takes up much less room.

I just can't help myself.
At 10 years old 1953, my grandparents gave me a Transistor radio.
It lasted about a week. That was when I first saw the innards of a radio.
I learned taking apart stuff from my grandfather!
You're doing a fine job.
