Well this ones finished at long last don't know why it's taken so long. There were no real issues although the fuselage halves were a challenge to get together. I followed Steves lead on the reverse masking of the stars and bars which worked really well. The tail wheel is very fragile and I protected it all through the build but it snapped off whilst taking the final photos. So for all you eagle eyed there is a brass rod supporting it. This particular planes squadron has some interesting nose art which is quite rare for Hellcats .I did managed to find photo of the exact plane although it doesn't have the canons.
