Ade's British Fleet Air Arm Hellcat Mk I

Hi Adrian


Thats a fabulous Hellcat with a great paint finish.The camo and invasion stripes are superbly done.


I apologise but I missed the build thread but I'm assuming the invasion stripes on the starboard side have been partially painted over deliberately (the profile called out for this?)


The scheme on this is really attractive (not many RAF hellcats out there) and as you say this kitty is properly armed to the teeth!


Cheers

All the invasion stripes are decals and were like that from the box, I have no idea why. If anyone could shed some light on this I'd appreciate

Very nicely done.


Invasion stripes were often applied a bit wonky, presumably that is the case for this example.

Hi Adrian


I agree with Brian. This looks like the camo has been painted over at some later stage. It looks as though part of the green camouflage has been painted over too as green camouflage shape doesn't continue as it should. It's obvious that you've followed the scheme properly and this is how it should appear.


Again, outstanding Hellcat


Cheers
