Progress pics. Distructions were atrocious as usual. Trying to cram the crew into the turret will be a challenge as there is little room after gun, ready rack, & seats. The flat PE is well done but the round stuff is still flat so will/have use less of it as the wire grabs attest.
Grillwork & fenders were well done but likely won't use all the fenders.

Getting crew in there will be fun in this scale … it’s already difficult in 1:35, never mind at under half the size 
Moving right along....potential crew & CITB.
Not a bad job on that resin kit looks good
That scale is far too small for me, I can only wish you the very best. You must have very good eyesight Paul.
Decals added, now for the hard stuff like crew, MGs, headlight & siren guards.
Nice Paul but CITB?? I could guess but I 100% guarantee I'd be wrong!!!
CrapInTheBack refers to misc. items piled on the vehicle. Not applicable to aircraft.:smiling:
Getting closer. Paint touchup, weathering & commander next.
Sorry Paul,I completely missed this until now!! I do like the Hellcats,and you're making a damned fine job of this one mate.... following the rest of the build closely from here on in :thumb2:.
That is excellent Paul. A tiny resin kit - not easy.
Excellent work - that certainly looked a challenge but you've bested it.
I still hate resin. Calling this done as it will be part of a US WWII armor display.
Very nice indeed!
Especially in this scale. Nice updates
Fantastic end result Paul ,small is beautiful no matter what the medium. Dave
Lovely job Paul. You’ve got the gypsy caravan look nailed alright.
Who needs a set of bad destruction sheet with your experience Paul, it looks good with the hitchhikers.
