'Lock wings' is first up for take off. Pretty sound advice I'd say!


Great looking Hellcat, nicely displayed and will look awesome once that figure is finished.

Very nice build, just spot on with the whole look of the aircraft

Hi Brian


Lookin for a bit of advice I have a Eduard 1/48 hellcat ( nightfighter ) and I'm looking fur help with the paint job


If I prime it with Vallejo black primer, then I'm looking fur s deep dark blue ( midnight blue ) will this give the desired effect if I do light coats??


Regards


Robert
