    1/48 Eduard Royal Navy Hellcat FN430

    Hi guys , go easy with me I`m well out of my comfort zone but any feedback or pointers are very much welcome , this is the third aircraft I`ve built and the first two were a very long time ago , I normally build race cars and bikes but for xmas got the Tamiya 1/32 spitfire , to do this justice I`m trying my hand at the 1/48 Eduard duel combo Hellcat kits first . its a bit rough around the edges and any errors are my own makings but to the naked eye looks ok , I`ve tried pre shading post shading panel line washing a little weathering and have enjoyed it big time made a few mistakes but learnt loads .

    Aircraft - Hellcat FN430 , No 1844 Sqn FAA , piloted by P/O Hannay from HMS Indomitable 1944 , and the aircraft made it to the end of the war ,

    Cheers Richy

          That looks spot on. Time to break out the Tamiya.

              I can offer no pointers as me and wingy-things do not get on. However, if I had created this I would be over the moon, looks superb to.
