Just come home. The Dual Combo Hellcat from Eduard. A reissue that brings the wheels in resin from Brassin.

As the Hellcat MK I is not more than a F6F-3 and I have a sheet of decals for the F6F-3, I will build the model that represents the F6F-3 of Lt. Alexander Vraciu. A WWII ace with 19 victories.

Cockpit painted with Gunze H-25. It's the first time I have used the Gunze paints in interiors. Let's see what will be, when I apply the lights and shadows.
