But I’m not sure which one I’m going to do. But I’ve narrowed it down to one of these two.

I forgot to say, there are 2 kits in the box.

With 2 kits you don't have to narrow it down............
I've settled on a Hellcat too, but mine will be Extra Dark Sea Blue so the camoflage would be nice to see.

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Lovely that is...
... Looking forward to seeing this mate.

 

[adt70hk]

Cool.... Have a Weekend one in the stash....at least it's in the Hellcat line!!!

 

[Geoffers]

Nice one :thumb2:

I’m looking forward to seeing you knock this one into shape :smiling4:

Geoff.

Started on this one, first off is the cockpit, with all the fiddly PE that goes with it.

I will need to put some primer on to check the seams properly.
