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.






Airplane photo with Alexander Vraciu.



Sign made with fingers after having downed six Japanese bombers in just eight minutes.



Here the aircraft after their 19 victories.



Best regards

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.
