Hi everyone
I've just completed this kit and decided as it's for my dad I would push the boat out and make a proper display stand for it.
My dad was the person who first introduced me to model making when I was a little nipper, so I asked him a few weeks back what his favourite aircraft was from WW2, and he said it was the Hellcat.
Wasn't a bad kit to build in the end, a bit different in quality to other brands but i'm quite happy with the end result.
For those who are intersted, the stand is made from a vinyl tile sample I bought from B and Q for £3, some old plastic pipe which I found on the building site where I work, an aluminium rod, and some random bit of plastic I found in which I loaded full of blue tack so it fits on to the top of the metal rod. It is secured underneath by no more nails.
The sign was bought from ebay, £2.65 including delivery ! bargain! will be getting some more of these made up in future.
